• 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional, for a nutty flavor)
• ½ tsp seasoned salt
• ¼ cup water (for deglazing)

🔥 Instructions

1. Brown the Sausage:

   • Add sliced onion to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
3. Cook the Cabbage:
   • Add chopped cabbage, caraway seeds, and seasoned salt.
   • Stir well and cook for 2 minutes to wilt the cabbage slightly.
4. Deglaze and Finish:
   • Add ¼ cup water and scrape the bottom of the pan to release flavorful bits.
   • Continue cooking for 6–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized.
5. Serve:
   • Serve hot, straight from the skillet. Optional: pair with buttered rye bread or roasted potatoes.
