Sautéed Green Cabbage Recipe

Ingredients:
1 medium head of green cabbage, chopped (about 6 cups)
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely chopped
Salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon, or more as needed)
Instructions:
Prep the Cabbage: Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut it into quarters. Remove the core and chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
Sauté the Onion: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Cook the Cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, stirring well to combine it with the onions. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and has reduced in volume.
Season: Sprinkle salt over the cabbage and onion mixture to taste. You can also add pepper or other spices if you like.
Serve: Once the cabbage is cooked to your desired tenderness, remove it from the heat and serve warm as a side dish.
Optional Additions:
Vinegar: A splash of apple cider vinegar can add a nice tang.
Bacon: Adding chopped cooked bacon or pancetta can enhance the flavor.
Caraway Seeds: If you enjoy the flavor, you can add a teaspoon of caraway seeds for a traditional touch.
