Caramelized Onion and Cabbage Recipe:

• 2 onions, thinly sliced
• 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
• 3 tablespoons oil (olive oil or your favorite cooking oil)
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste

• Cutting board
• Knife
• Electric skillet
• Spoon

How to Make It

1. Heat the oil in a large electric skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and caramelize. This usually takes around 15 minutes, but patience is key – the deeper the caramelization, the more flavor they’ll have!
2. Once the onions are beautifully golden and caramelized, add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir everything together so the cabbage can absorb some of that wonderful onion flavor.
3. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still has a little bite to it.
4. Once everything is perfectly cooked, serve hot alongside your favorite main dishes – meat, vegetarian, fish or casserole.

Why You Should Try It

This dish is not only delicious but also versatile. It pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled fish, or even as a topping for grain bowls or a hearty vegetarian meal.
