Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large onion, peeled and diced
- 1 medium head of white cabbage, trimmed, cored, and sliced
- 1 TBS oil
- 2 TBS butter
- 1 tsp sugar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup of water or vegetable stock
Instructions
- Prepare your vegetables.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the oil and half the butter. Add the onions.
- Cook and stir until the onion begins to soften. Add the cabbage.
- Sprinkle with the sugar and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Continue to cook, stirring it frequently, until the cabbage begins to soften. Add the water and cover.
- Cook and steam over low heat until the cabbage has softened completely. Remove the cover and cook for a few more minutes until the cabbage starts to caramelise in places. Stir on the remaining butter. Taste and adjust seasoning as required.
- You can add one peeled and chopped carrot along with a diced bell pepper along with the onion.
- If you like garlic, add a couple of cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed.
- This cabbage is really nice tossed together with cooked buttered noodles and served with grated cheese sprinkled over top.
Notes
One variation is to fry a couple of rashers of bacon in the skillet until crisp before adding the onion. Remove the bacon and crumble. Cook the onion in the bacon fat along with a bit of butter and oil. Continue as above. Stir in the crumbled bacon at the end and heat through.
