Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and quarter the head. Remove the core and thinly slice the cabbage.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced red cabbage to the pot, stirring to coat with the oil, onion, and garlic.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and water. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle with stevia, salt, black pepper, and caraway seeds (if using).
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low.
Allow the cabbage to braise for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and has absorbed the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, before serving.
Serve warm as a keto-friendly side dish.
