Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, then slice it in half and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into roughly 1/4-inch-wide shreds.
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil and allow the butter to melt completely.
Add the caraway seeds to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the cabbage evenly with the butter, oil, and seasonings.
Pour the water or vegetable broth into the pan and stir gently. Cover the pan with a lid and let the cabbage cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the liquid to evaporate and the cabbage to caramelize slightly. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if using.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, sausages, or hearty vegetarian dishes.
