Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage if they are damaged. Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and slice each quarter into thin shreds.
Peel and dice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and toss to combine with the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar, vegetable broth, and honey (or maple syrup). Stir everything together.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and caraway seeds (if using). Toss to evenly coat the cabbage.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the cabbage to braise for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and infused with the tangy flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or vinegar if desired.
Transfer the braised cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm as a side or main dish.
