Notes
Recipe can be doubled if you have a large enough skillet. If you don’t, you can make it ahead in 2 batches.
Make Ahead Tip: Sauté the cabbage for the initial three minutes, whisk the vinegar, Brown Sugar Twin, and caraway seeds together as directed above, and add the mixture to the cabbage. Toss to coat, then take off the heat and cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until just before the meal.
Before serving, return the cabbage mixture to the large, heavy skillet and sauté again until the cabbage is wilted and heated completely through. Transfer the cabbage to a serving dish and serve immediately.
