Ingredients

1 large head green cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup combination of butter and oil
3 tablespoons sugar (I use raw or unbleached white sugar)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Preparation

In a large bowl mix the cabbage and salt. Let stand for 30 minutes. Pour into a colander and rinse cabbage under cold running water, squeezing out as much water as possible. (You can also use a salad spinner to remover the excess water. ).
Melt butter in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Add the cabbage and cook uncovered stirring occasionally until cabbage is a bright green color and limp, about 20 minutes.
Add sugar and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is soft and lightly browned about 30 minutes longer.
