For a richer flavor, use browned butter. Cook the butter over medium heat until it turns a nutty brown color and smells fragrant before adding the cabbage. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar towards the end of cooking for a touch of acidity to balance the richness of the butter. Feel free to add other seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes to customize the flavor. This dish pairs well with roasted meats, sausages, or as a side for a vegetarian meal.
