Ingredients
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 1/2 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning preparation.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced onion to the hot oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges become golden brown and the onion softens, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
Add the sliced cabbage, salt, black pepper, and caraway seeds directly to the pan with the onion.
Stir well to combine all ingredients, then reduce heat to medium-low. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes until the cabbage is very tender and lightly caramelized.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately while hot.
Comments
Cabbage and onion are grocery staples at every Charlotte chain, available year-round and dirt cheap—expect under $2 total for four servings. The stated time is wildly optimistic; you're looking at 15–20 minutes of active work plus maybe 30 simmering, not 51 minutes to table. Caraway seeds aren't stocked everywhere (Food Lion and Harris Teeter carry them, but ALDI or Walmart might require hunting), though you can skip them without ruining the dish. This reheats perfectly and makes a reliable weeknight side or light supper, with minimal hands-on attention after the initial sauté.
