Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 2 lbs) green cabbage
- 2 medium yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped (optional) fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Remove the core from each quarter, then slice the cabbage into thin strips.
Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the pan and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown. If needed, lower the heat slightly to prevent burning.
Once onions are caramelized, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan. Add the sliced cabbage and toss everything together to combine.
Cook the cabbage and onions over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Remove the pan from heat and, if desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside meat, fish, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
