Ingredients

• 1 head Green cabbage
• 4 medium Potatoes
• 1 large Onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse and set aside.

Step 2

Core and chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and caraway seeds to the pot, stirring for 1 minute to release the aroma.

Step 6

Add the chopped cabbage and potatoes to the pot. Stir to coat them in the oil, butter, and seasonings.

Step 7

Pour the vegetable broth into the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork—they should be tender but not falling apart.

Step 9

Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. This dish can be enjoyed as a side or a light main course.
