My Nana's Cooked Cabbage


My mothers family came from what used to be Austria Hungary.  My great grandmother Antonia and Great grandfather Anton both came through Ellis Island - Antonia was only 16 or 17 at the time and she came alone.  We spent many Sundays at her home in Bayonne - One of the side dishes that always turned up on the table is this recipe for cabbage

1 head of green cabbage thinly sliced
1 large onion thinly sliced
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 tbs caraway seeds
salt and pepper to taste

saute oinons in a pot until nicely carmelized.  Add cabbage and toss to fully incorporate and 1/2 cup water and vinegar and simmer slowly until almost all the liquid is absorbed - Add caraway seeds and season with salt and pepper to taste.
