Sauteed Cabbage by curly and MollyDunlop

Cabbage sauteed in butter (or bacon fat, I imagine) until it is so, so tender and little bits of it are starting to turn brown and carmely is wonderful. You can add onion, cumin seeds, I like about 1/4 tsp of turmeric for flavor and color. You can also add thinly sliced apples.

I generally heat some butter and olive oil to a fairly high heat, added sliced cabbage and toss it to coat with oil, put on the lid and cook for a few minutes at medium heat, then finish with some grated nutmeg. I tend to use nutmeg with any cabbage-related vegetable.

... it's actually more like Molly describes. You sautee for a few minutes to coat the cabbage in fat, then cover and let it steam slowly for a while. 10-20 minutes seems to be a safe time range, depending on temperature.
