Cabbage With Caraway
- 1/2 - 1 head cabbage, depending on size (savoy is great, but use any you like)
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seed (if you don't like caraway, try dill seed)
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil (any type, but don't use olive oil as it could burn)
- 1 tablespoon water
- salt
- pepper
- You will need a pan with a lid which is big enough to hold all the cabbage.
- Using a large knife, cut the cabbage into quarters through the stem.
- Remove and discard the solid white core from the cabbage quarters (just cut off the triangle of core).
- Shred the cabbage quarters into slices about 1/4" wide. Start at the pointed end and angle your slices if the shreds get too long.
- Heat the oil in the pan.
- Add the caraway seeds and sizzle for a minute.
- Add the cabbage and turn it over to coat with the oil.
- Pour in the water and put the lid on.
- Holding the lid on the pan, shake it about a bit to mix everything up, then put back on the stove for about 5 minutes, shaking it about or stirring every couple of minutes.
- Check the cabbage - it may need another few minutes if you prefer it softer. It will have wilted down a bit in the pan.
- When it is done to your satisfaction, take it off the stove, season and serve.
- The cabbage should be cooked, but still al dente and slightly glistening with oil, with no water left.
