The phytochemicals that give red cabbage its lovely color may protect against cellular damage in our bodies. Hearty wedges hold their own next to robust flavors: Caramelized onions, cider vinegar, and a touch of brown sugar sweeten the German-inspired dish, while a cinnamon stick adds fragrant warmth.

Steps:
- Core and shred your cabbage, I do a rough chop, and put aside in a bowl. Then dice your onion, making the pieces medium size.
- Take a 10"skillet and place about 2-3 tablespoons butter, melt the butter and saute the onions until they just start to turn brown around the edges. Add the cabbage and gently fold with the onions, add the remaining butter (just put it in on top of the cabbage,it will melt). Place lid on skillet and simmer at medium heat for 5 minutes. Then uncover, stir the mix and add all your spices. Stir again and place the cover back on and simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
- We like a little body to ours, if you like your cabbage soft just simmer a little longer.
- This is easy, quick and yummy. You can add caraway seeds or other spices to alter to your own tastes.

SAUTEED CABBAGE
This is very yummy! Red cabbage has a much better flavor than green, so it is better to use. Any spices you want can be used, but salt and pepper is simplest.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Select a firm head of purple cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid any heads that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: This will bring out their natural sweetness and add a rich flavor to the dish.
- Season the cabbage well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Cook the cabbage until it is tender: But still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make it mushy.
- Serve immediately: Sautéed purple cabbage is best served fresh from the pan.

Sautéed purple cabbage with caramelized onions is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It is a great way to add more vegetables to your diet and is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. The cabbage is tender and slightly sweet, while the onions add a rich and flavorful depth.
