Prepare the Savoy cabbage by removing any tough outer leaves, cutting it in half, and slicing it into thin strips.
Peel and slice the red onions thinly for the onion marmalade.
In a wide sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until softened and beginning to caramelize.
Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and stir to combine. Cook for another 3-4 minutes to enhance their sweetness and deepen their color.
Add the balsamic vinegar and water to the onions, stirring well. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for about 10 minutes until it thickens into a marmalade-like consistency. Set the onion marmalade aside and keep warm.
In another large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced Savoy cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, tossing continuously, until the cabbage is tender-crisp and slightly charred on the edges.
Season the cabbage with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving platter and top it generously with the warm onion marmalade.
Serve the dish immediately as a side or with crusty bread for a complete meal.
