Caramelized Cabbage!

I came across this recipe about 3 years ago on a cooking site called GroupRecipes. I tucked it away in a folder full of recipes that I wanted to try! Then the other day I found the folder and decided to finally try the recipe! I'm so glad I did because this was so very good! It's basically just cabbage and onions with some seasoning, sauteed until caramelized! I couldn't stop eating this! There almost wasn't enough left for my family! For some reason, the recipe was removed from that site! I'm so glad I printed it out before it was removed! The recipe was posted by a member named Barbie Mensher
Thank you Barbie...I'll be making this often! I'm posting the recipe the way I made it...

INGREDIENTS:

 

1 large green cabbage, cored and sliced thin

1 large onion, sliced thin

3 Tbls. olive oil

1 Tbls. butter

1 tsp. kosher salt

1/4 - 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, pick the large amount if you like it hot

 

DIRECTIONS:

 

In a large skillet, heat oil and butter on med/high.

Add the cayenne, cabbage and onions and saute until golden while constantly stirring. This may take about 25-35 minutes. Keep scraping the bottom of the pan. And don't worry if the pan is getting brown, just keep scraping and tossing the mixture around. Add the salt after about 15 minutes of sauteeing. Keep browning until the mixture is very nicely browned and tastes sweet.

When done cooking you will only have about 2 cups of caramelized cabbage because it cooks down alot. This serves about 4 people as a side dish. This is perfect served with any meat or fish.

 Serve warm.
