MY GRANDMA'S BRAISED CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a medium pot or Dutch oven, cook the onions in the butter over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring, for a few minutes. Add the apple, brown sugar, wine, vinegar, and water, and bring up to a simmer, stirring. Cover and braise for 30 minutes, stirring once and checking on the texture. Cook a little less for a firmer cabbage; a little more for softer cabbage.
• Add a small splash of cider vinegar just before serving.

SAUTEED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half and, with the cut-side down, slice it as thinly as possible around the core, as though you were making coleslaw. Discard the core.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, salt, and pepper and saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown. Season, to taste, and serve warm.

BUTTERED-BRAISED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium-low heat until mostly melted. Add cabbage. Place remaining 1 tablespoon butter on top of the cabbage. Cover and cook until cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes. Uncover and stir cabbage to coat evenly with butter. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, about 3 minutes. Season with black pepper.

QUICK BRAISED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cut cabbage into 2-inch wedges (you'll have 6 to 8 of them), leaving the core intact so that the wedges stay together while they cook.
• Heat a heavy skillet, over medium heat, and add 1/4 cup oil; heat this until it shimmers, then add cabbage.
• Cook cabbage, turning once, so that it is browned on both sides, abut 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Reduce heat in skillet to medium low, add remaining tablespoon oil; add cloves, mustard seeds, curry leaves, bay leaf, shallot, and garlic, cooking and stirring 1 minute.
• Add ginger, turmeric, 1 tablespoon jalapeno, tomato, and broth; season with salt (you can add more jalapeno to taste).
• Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil; return cabbage, cover, reduce heat to medium, and braise until tender, about 10 minutes (turn once halfway through braising).
• Remove and discard cloves, curry leaves, and bay leaf.
