For a richer flavor, sauté a diced onion in the olive oil before adding the cabbage. A pinch of brown sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup can enhance the cabbage's natural sweetness. This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, sausages, or vegetarian entrees like lentil loaf. For a main course, consider adding cooked apples, toasted walnuts, and crumbled goat cheese during the last few minutes of cooking.
