Variations:

Sautéed Cabbage with Bacon: Cook 4 bacon slices in a large heavy pot over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Crumble the bacon. Proceed with the recipe as directed, substituting 2 Tbsp. drippings for 2 Tbsp. of the butter and reducing salt to 3/4 tsp. Top the cooked cabbage with the crumbled bacon.

Sautéed Cabbage with Apples: Prepare recipe as directed, adding 1 small Gala apple (thinly sliced), 2 Tbsp. cider vinegar and 1 tsp. fennel seeds to the cabbage mixture during the final 5 minutes of cook time.

Sesame Sautéed Cabbage: Prepare recipe as directed, substituting 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil for the butter and adding 1 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce (or tamari), 2 tsp. minced fresh ginger and 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper with the cabbage and onion. Reduce salt to 3/4 tsp. and omit pepper.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
