Braised cabbage

Braised cabbage, which we use as a side dish for meats, can be red, white, or we can prepare both. In this variant, we have to make them separately.
Ingredients (what you need)
1 head white or red cabbage
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 pieces onions
3 tablespoons currant jam, when using red cabbage
as needed lard
roux
to taste vinegar
caraway seeds
salt
water

Recipe steps
Peel the onion and chop it finely, and shred the cabbage.
In a pan, heat the fat and sauté the onion, adding 3 tablespoons of sugar. Fry until the sugar browns and caramelizes. Then add the cabbage with caraway seeds, salt, and add water. Simmer for about 20 minutes. After that, thicken the cabbage with a roux made from flour and melted butter.
At the end, season the braised cabbage to your taste with vinegar, sugar, and salt. For red cabbage, add jam and simmer briefly.
