Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Remove the core and slice the quarters into thin strips.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.
Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, and then season with salt, black pepper, and caraway seeds.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it braise for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to let any excess liquid evaporate, about 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your low-carb braised cabbage!
