Ingredients
- Salt
- Pepper
- 2pounds green cabbage, cored and cut in 1-inch strips
- 4tablespoons butter
- 3onions, sliced ¼-inch thick
- 3large tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced ¼-inch thick
- 2 or 3celery stalks, thinly sliced
- ½teaspoon caraway seed
- 6scallions, thinly sliced
Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the cabbage and cook for about 30 seconds, until barely wilted. Drain in a colander under cold running water until cool, and pat dry.
- Step 2
In a wide, heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, season well with salt and pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Step 3
Turn up the heat and add apples. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, allowing onions and apples to brown a bit, until apples are cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in celery and caraway, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Step 4
Add cabbage and toss gently. Adjust seasoning and transfer to an oven-proof serving dish. If not serving immediately, keep at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, or refrigerate and bring to room temperature, before heating in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes. To serve, sprinkle with the scallions.

Needed to cook the savoy a bit longer or else is sort of tough/chewy.
Adding a large dollop of whole grain mustard takes it over the top!
i sliced the cabbage as for coleslaw (e.g. food proc 2mm blade) ditto the onion. Started the onion with 2 tbs olive oil, added the cabbage once the onion softened and began to brown, tossed every few minutes with 1 tsp caraway, 1 tsp celery seed, 1/2 tsp brown mustard seeds. (had I thought, I would have added the spices with the onion alone). On e cabbage was also softened, added very thinly sliced apple and kept tossing until both cabbage and apple brown. 1 tbs cider vinegar, 1 tsp salt at end.
I made exactly according to directions and it was too bland for us. like other commenters, I think adding Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, more salt. more Caraway, possibly cranberries (?) to give it some zing.
Good easy added celery seed & cider vinegar Erin liked it
Cooked the onions in unsalted butter and chopped bacon, added apples for a few minutes, then cabbage, soy auce, brown sugar and leftover white wine, simmerred for about 10 minutes. A nice mix of savory, sweet and sour, nice with pork or chicken
