- Caramelized Cabbage
Like Russian braised cabbage, but a shade darker and more intense.
1 medium green cabbage (about 7” or 18cm diameter)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp butter or more oil as needed
1/4 cup dry white wine, stock, or water
2 tsp pomegranate molasses (or 1 tsp balsamic vinegar)
Salt
Cut the cabbage into thin strips 2” (5cm) by 1/4” (1/2 cm).
Set a 12” stainless steel skillet with straight sides (or something similar) over high heat. Add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the cabbage, salt, and stir. Cook covered stirring occasionally until you develop a lot of browning. Once you are halfway there, start dropping the heat and checking the cabbage more frequently. This will take about 25 minutes. If the skillet is ever dry, add the butter or more oil.
Reduce the heat to low, add the wine, scrape up the brown bits and cook uncovered stirring occasionally until the cabbage starts to brown again, about 10 minutes. Take off heat, stir in pomegranate molasses, taste and adjust for salt. Can be made ahead and rewarmed. Will last in the fridge for 5 days.

This must be the nicest, well spoken english with russian accent I've ever heard.
French accent?
@@patytrico Definitely sounds like a lovely Russian accent. I have a feeling Sergei would know. I also live in a Russian speaking country. ♡
@@patytrico Yes she's Russian.
I have been wondering what the accent is. She speaks well. Sometimes second language english speakers are less lazy.
@@barbaralouisebenjamin5918 curious how many languages do you speak?
Being Hungarian, we mix this kind of cabbage with pasta. We also add some caraway seed and lots of black pepper to season.
I am Czech, and we do too the cabbage with caraway seed and plenty of black pepper. And mix it with homemade eggs flat pasta, cut in squares. That is very delicious combination. We name it "flicky se zelim".
Romanian here, we eat it with pasta too, but no caraway seeds,only black pepper, onion and sometimes, garlic, as always :))
being Hungarian, my mother used to make retes with this cabbage too
or sugar...
More than a few people in Asia like to fry cabbage & noodles
Cabbage & Onions, the PERFECT marriage. YUM!!!!
I used too much, Wine, funny thing is I don't remember making the cabbage.
Worked out great thank you.
funny!!
Hilarious... not

@ Lane Romel That reminds me of the late cooking show host Julia Child! I quote: "I love to cook with wine, and sometimes I even put it in the food!" 🤣👍
This lady has a wonderful teaching manner.....she must be wonderful reading stories to her children
She uhh... runs a cooking school in MA. :)

"If you're a low fat cook, leave now" LOL. I like this lady
You're not a cook at that point, just a salad tosser lol
olive oil is not bad for you nor is cabbage nor an olive oil based butter...this dish can be done in a healthy way.....grapeseed oil is even better for you.
I have been cooking cabbage like that for years , but I use lard , not oil , tastes amazing ! Oh by the way , fat doesn’t make you fat , carbs do !
You damn right!
@@ursulaeissner9945 lard! nooo!!
My dad's parents (and aunts, uncles, etc) are all 2nd gen Polish-Americans, so I've grown up on many cabbage-based dishes in my lifetime (both American and Polish). I have never heard (or thought) of caramelized cabbage, but I followed your recipe tonight, and WOW! This is life-changing and eye-opening, thank you!
I'm on a ketogenic diet and cabbage is a perfect low-carb veggie for the diet. This sounds like a perfect addition to my meal plans!
Yup!
@Colleen De koning actually you only need to "ditch" dairy (cholesterol will be fixed), white flours & grains (no nutrition), and extra sugars (esp HFC) -- we eat all the meat we want, even get nutrition from the healthy fat (low glycemic diet), and are slim! 😊🎣🍗🍖🍳
@Colleen De koning so what do you eat?! I dont eat meat but more "junk food"
You’ll love it!
@@user-rb4pe3gm2o keto wasn’t initially intended for weight loss.
In our house there is a battle over the core. It's the sweetest part of the cabbage. Even the kids love it raw. It makes a great snack.
I've never had an issue with the cabbage core in any way I've used it.
I've been in the food business for 48 years.
Wide Awake
When we were kids and money was tight we used to fight over the cabbage stump and the cabbage water. How times have changed and now what we fought over is now a health trend. 😂😂
@@TheHerbdude Really? Even though it can be very tough.
@Filip Martin You just may want to remove the hard fibers around it.
@Filip Martin As a snack - raw, just like a carrot.
in Denmark we call it "brown cabbage", and it is, delicious.. only down side is.. well the "music" you tend to make after you eat it.. oh and we eat it with pork belly or sausage.
Q: Why did God make farts smell?
A: So that deaf can enjoy them, too.
@bademeister that sounds, amazing... thank the Gods i just purchased a big dinner.
@@Alexagrigorieff hahahaha!!!
Does`nt happen to everyone though - Just like post asparagus pee - Some people (like me) have an anatomy to digest cabbage quite "silent" :D
And on top of that, i believe the longer it cooks, the less it produces wind.
For an Aussie take (whose on Keto) I cooked small meatballs separarely and mixed into cabbage once cooked (browned). OMG ✔👊🏼 Thanks Helen!
A favorite in our house is the same dish, except half cabbage and half onions. Caramelized. I’ve never tried it with cabbage alone, but I have no doubt it’s wonderful. Thanks for this great idea!
Interesting, I know a serbian variation where you use Sauerkraut (the Balkan version, where you ferment the whole cabbage without shredding it first) and lots of paprika powder. After you wash the and dice the fermented cabbage you cook it on a stove and then transfer it into a flat baking dish adding paprika. Then you roast it under maximum heat until the top layer is crispy and almost burned.
@Patricia Palmer Sweet
OK, I was hooked in the first 10 seconds. Elegance, beautiful accent, and smarts. Well done!
I love how people from other countries contribute how they do it to your recipes! Not only do I have your recipes, I also have many others to try! Thank you, Helen!
I caramelize my cabbage with onions and carrots it's really good
Maedora Smith
I might try your recipe as well, 😊
@@catherinedavid3662 it's really good hope you like it 😋
Maedora Smith
I’ll let you know when I’ve made it..🙂
Maedora Smith good idea thank you 😊
Yeah, that is a good one. I also add mushrooms.
Honestly, your voice is intoxicating. I could listen to you for days.
does it turn you on..?
I want to hear her say, "Moose and Squirrel"
@@simonkue NEXT!
I don't know why youtube sent me here but I think I'm in love :-) With Helen's face, voice, and accent. And I might even try the cabbage.
honestly that's the reason i subscribed
cabbage haters make no sense to me. ;) Raw red cabbage is one of nature's perfect snack foods in my opinion. I've never tried carmelizing it though... thanks for the tip Helen! great video.
Pickled red cabbage is my favorite vegetable to have with falafel
probably people who had it fixed improperly as a kid or not in a tasty way.
Some people get bloated and gassy from cabbage, helps explain it a bit.
Is that a weeworld pfp
@@aleahsb99 indeed it is!
I like cabbage anyway, but I never thought about caramelising it. Such a simple idea and such a simple and inexpensive ingredient, I will definitely try it.
You have the most soothing, pleasant voice! I loved learning how to cook this cabbage for you!!
Similarly, you could fry sauerkraut and the flavour would blow your mind away!! (Rinse sauerkraut before frying to get rid of some of the sourness, squeeze it to get rid of water.) I also always start with sautéing a chopped up onion and then add the sauerkraut. Slow -fry and stir often.
I use apple juice or cider instead of white wine. Great recipe. First time cooks, take note of her chopping technique. The “claw” is very important when chopping. You don’t cut yourself or lose any fingers.
I love your style. Watching you is relaxing and informative. Thank you so much!
WOW, that looks absolutely delicious!! I could eat a 5 gallon bucket full of that cabbage : ) Great job Helen, thanks for sharing the proper cooking method. Take care, Joe
Been making cabbage this way for years, but I salt the sliced cabbage to draw out its water and then rinse before cooking. Also, lots of black pepper. After finishing, I add thin, flat noodles for a complete meal.
Oh my goodness! I love cabbage but have never had it “caramelized”. Will definitely do this next time! Looks FABULOUS! Thank you, Helen!
Hi Ms. Rennie. We first watched this video several months ago. Since then, your carmelized cabbage has become a staple in our household. We love it. We have it at least once a week. Also, we've even begun to experiment. Thanks.
I can't wait to make this. I practically swooned at the visual of the cabbage Piroshki near the end! As someone who grew up in a Russian community, your voice is so familar and comforting to me. I wish I could bring you home to meet my mother. She would die a happy woman if she thought I was marrying you!
I just made this, sans wine and vinegar, and it was great, I never knew that you could caramelize cabbage. Being Keto for almost 2 years, this is a marvelous side dish for my grass fed beef. Thank you!!
I recently got a diagnosis of borderline type 2 diabetes and went low carb. One month later and blood work shows I don't need meds! I am so looking forward to trying this dish with sour cream and bacon!!
My wife is no longer diabetic because of low carb. It took about six months.
@@TheHerbdude That's awesome! I was reluctant with the higher fats at first because I have no gallbladder and NAFLD but it seems I only had issues when I was eating fats and carbs together. I also only eat during a four hour window so it gives my liver time to rest. I haven't felt this good in years!
@@TheHerbdude good to hear.
didn't know grass fed beef liked cabbage (couldn't resist).
I love cabbage. Maybe a southern thing. I can't wait to try this. I love cabbage in my soup and cabbage and sausage.
Marie me 2 just the natural sweetness of cabbage lol : ) i make cabbage salad YUM!
Not a southern thing.. It's liked all over
Looks so good! I will try it this way. My grandfather, who was Polish, taught me from when I was very small that the core of that raw cabbage is delicious with salt. As you pointed out, this reminds me of the filling for pierogi that my family makes, but onions are included to caramelize along with the cabbage (and a little sauerkraut.)
stirring in some sauerkraut into this would be spectacular. thanks so much for the idea!
@@helenrennie cabbage soup is the best🥰 steam cabbage leafe with meat calles "Balandeliai" is the best. Try it🥰
My family (American, German heritage) has been making this, almost identical. We use saved bacon fat instead of oil. About 20 minutes before the cabbage is done, we add sliced onion and about a half cup of apple cider vinegar. Just before we finish we add a cup or two of water, bring up to heat, and sprinkle with flour and stir, making a sort of gravy or "cream" sauce that lightly coats everything. It's one of our must-have side dishes on Thanksgiving and has been a family tradition for more than a hundred years. You are the only other person I've ever "met" that cooks cabbage this way. Great video and looks delicious!
this sounds incredible :)
This is a great recipe!!! Too great actually. You see I made the mistake of making enough for a dinner party before I left for Europe. I had a lot left over so I ate the leftover cabbage before boarding the plane for a cross Atlantic flight. I drank a few beers while waiting to board and about an hour into the flight I experience the worst gas in my life. I fell asleep and awoke to the sound of loud flatulence. Eat with caution and when not in a confined space with strangers.
LOL..oh my..I would have been dying trying to hold that in 😂😂😂
A lot of cooks add caraway seeds or a pinch of asafoetida/hing to reduce the pneumatic effects of cabbage.

@@LazyCookPete that is Bavarien and is called Bayerisch Kraut, but not so much Oil please...not needet.
I was certain that this would be one of those videos that act like everything is so simple and easy and it isn't. This was in fact workable. Very workable. Plus I like the way she showed various stages of the cooked cabbage to let me know it wasn't burned at all and she explained so much with out dragging out explanations. And she gave so many ways to use this. This is the type of video that helps expand my cooking skills.
This looks like what my Hungarian mother would make stirred into noodles! All my friends love it!
Hungarian food? Without paprika? What?!
My boyfriends mum is croatian and she also cooks cabbage like this with noodles. But I'm not a big fan to be honest ^^
@@SayuriYaki i guess it's not for everyone. Us eastern European people like this sorta thing.

Listening to Helen caramelized cabbage is how I meditate. So soothing and I learn to cook while I meditate.
Yummm... 😋
THANK YOU SO MUCH Helen!! Being a native German we cook and eat green (we call it white 😜) cabbage in MANY delicious variations...
BUT NEVER HEARD OF CARAMELIZED!!
+ Great simple ingredients!
Can't wait to try it!!
WUNDERBAR! 🙏💞
YOU'RE a great teacher Helen... sharing your expansive culinary wisdom so graciously.... EASY listening too!! 😍👍
I'm so grateful to my MOTHER to have taught me all HER somewhat professional cooking and baking skills AND tricks since I was a little girl helping in the kitchen!!
In process currently of teaching my eager to learn 18 y/o grandson who luvs my food!! 👍😘
Guten APPETIT!!! 🍴🍷
Greetings & blessings...
I just subscribed ✔😂
You are such a kind woman, and very informative. Thank you so much for helping me come back to my roots :)
My favorite pierogies are the ones that I make, filled with carmelized sweet cabbage...
Wow, that sounds delicious!
Same op.. I'm not polish but grew up in polish community and love home made pierogi. Mrs T are cardboard.. Need home made
There is no need for S. Pierogi is already plural.
Americans...
@@BobPapadopoulos calm down, bobby, he's just applying the plural of the language that he's currently speaking to his words. Commonly normal practice, you'd know that if you spoke with other people more, you degenerate
I am enjoying your videos. I grew up with cabbage every week. My mom was Croatian, my dad Serbian, so this type of food is very familiar to me. I love it. Now, I need to go grocery shopping to buy a cabbage. Making this today!
Love cabbage in any way shape or form. Can't wait to make this thank you Helen.
exactly what I was thinking!
@@slopowers1513 same
How charming she is! My grandmother used to make cabbage exactly like that, but instead of pomegranate molasses or balsamic vinegar she used lemon juice. When I make it I use spiced beet vinegar which is delicious.
I just made this dish and it’s wonderful! I cut the recipe in half and had it with a salad and buttered pasta. The flavor intessifies as it cools down a bit. This recipe is a keeper! Thank you!
She has a delightful voice. A pleasure to listen to!
Thanks Helen for making cabbage more popular. I would love for everyone to know how delicious cabbage can be. Add some peppers and sausages, and a bit of cream on top and it's something I could eat the whole day.
You are the most lovely lady to listen to and your sense of humor is just great - love the cabbage too!
I tried this recipe, it works & the end product was...... delicious! Planning on preparing it again 👍
thanks so much for trying it :)
Is it Good on burgers?
My daughter-in-law gave me a head of cabbage. I have never made cabbage and honestly never ate cabbage. I found your video and recipe and decided I would make it. Since I'm Italian, I added some garlic powder, onion powder and just a little bit of paprika. It was absolutely delicious. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing.
We use cabbage a lot in the south to make cole slaw. Theres loads of variations from super sweet and creamy to keto friendly low sugar versions with the sweetness coming from carrots with mustard and apple cider vinegar. You should explore some of those too. Cabbage is a super versatile and healthy base to a lot of things.
This honestly blew my mind. Would’ve never considered doing this. Will definitely try!
Try this with yellow squash. So good.
Memories of Mom. 😀 This was one of our non meat dishes from Lent or Advent. Thanks.V.
I skip the olive oil and just fry up some chopped bacon, add the cabbage, and finish as shown. Lots of pepper too.
jt5747 My grandmother made it that way. It used to be called "fried cabbage." Yummy.
@@juliamorganscott9384 my mom called it smothered cabbage. Still one of my favorites!
I always fry cabbage and carrots but won't use much oil. I would mix butter with oil, the trick is stand over the pan and keep stirring
All this has made me hungry for cabbage.
Cracking idea....
My mum used to serve baked cabbage - my God, I loved it and even now many years later my mouth waters at the memory. I'm very glad I found this recipe and I will certainly try your recipe. Thank you for upload, best wished from Melbourne, Australia.
I've made this recipe two times since watching the video. Everyone loved it. Second time I added some sliced shallots to the mix, not sure why, just everything goes better with shallots! I also found that you need not caramelize all the cabbage. If you stop a little early it is still delicious as long as what remains is soft and well-cooked.
Dear Ms. Ronnie, that was a delightful class in preparing caramelized cabbage! My wife has this program set as a future project for her. And I plan to do the same. We look forward to other dishes from you repertoires. Thank you very much. Bob Campbell
OK, now you're being cruel. Caramelized Onions, Cabbage, Mushroom spread. What next Bacon Jam?
You are the best, thanks
Right!! It's all so delish!!!
Bacon jam? Now you're cooking with Crisco!! 😀
Did someone say bacon jam? Caramelized cabbage. Gotta try this one.!!!
cthootie hahahahaha bacon jam sounds great tho
ITs confirmed, want a tasty budget dish just caramelize everything.
Being one who loves sauteed cabbage, and craving a meal of this, I want to thank you for providing me with directions on how to perfect this!
When I do this, Ill sometimes add a little sesame oil at the end for flavour. Actually, it's a great dish to play around with as a base. Sometimes I''l incorporate carrots or other roots. There's a lot of variations possible.
This is why a cabbage pie is so good. Caramelized cabbage! I use a big cast iron wok with a lid, and cook 2 chopped cabbages at once. Yields enough caramelized cabbage to make 2 pies! Lovely video.
This looks amazing! I make cabbage just like this but minus the acidity at the end and add it to kalua pig (hawaiian pulled pork) to make what we call here in hawaii kalua and cabbage. it's out of this world good.
My mother used to make this dish. I'm 71 and remember it well. Usually, she served fat garlic sausage on the side, sometimes adding mushrooms, This is a wonderful meal, Thank you for sharing and bringing back memories.
Thanks for including the global metric measurement standard :) You've taught me how to prep the cabbage which is really great. My cabbage method is about to change dramatically! LOL.
I love cabbage, and I usually 'saute' it, but this! This is top drawer! Thank you , dear lady.
What a nice lady. ...."discard the hearts?" As kids my brother and I used to fight over who got to eat the hearts.
We did too, I thought that as she discarded it!
My grandmother told me the cabbage heart is good for your heart. Of course, I was a kid then. Sne'd slice it up. And sprinkle a little alr on it, and it was great.
Discard core?
My Mom told me that was our kitchen treat for doing all the chopping.
@@michaelplunkett8059 Your mom -- one smart lady! My mom's version: "Yes, you can have that after you've taken out the garbage"
Tried for the first time and really liked, did not get as brown as shown but will now add to repertoire, thanks Helen 👍
Thank you! Those of us on keto need this! Love you!
My husband always thought he hate vegetables because his mother only boiled them so they were tasteless. After meeting me and tasting roast and caramelized veggies he now loves them. His favorites are browned cabbage and roasted carrots
Helen, this is a great video. I’m so happy to have found you (especially as I’ve been on a cabbage kick lately). Also, as an ESL teacher, I find your English AMAZING!! I’m guessing you attended high school here, or in another English speaking country. So, so impressive!
Great directions! Easy to understand and not too "gabby" like other cooks do.
My dear Mother did this with the vinegar added but with one extra addition. A handful of raisins thrown in for the last 10-15 minutes. Kind of sweet n sour idea. Mmmm
Tried this recipe today for the first time (indoors, stainless steel pan this time) and it was FANTASTIC! Thank you, My 83-year-old Dad was eating with me, and says it was very close to something his mother made for him back in the '40s. Thank you, Helen!
Made it today. Excellent!
Thank you so much for giving this a try :)
@@helenrennie Thank you for your video! My wife, son-in-law and I enjoyed the cabbage so much that we'll have it at least once a week. I should say at least three times a week. When I make supper each night I make enough so all of us can have leftovers for lunch the next day. It's great that this can be reheated. As you mentioned in your introduction, all of us in my family have only had cooked cabbage boiled with our New England boiled dinner (we live south of Boston). Thank you again.
I made your recipe and I have to tell you that I love cabbage any day but your way of preparing make cabbage sublime. Thank you for showing us your way.
I love cabbage in all forms and this looks delicious.Tyvm for sharing it.💖
I have made a ton of fried cabbage and caramelized onions in my life. This is, for some reason, the first time I ever knew that you could caramelize cabbage lol
this looks like a great simple idea! Thanks Helen!
Helen, you're a genius. My household loves cabbage in all the forms we know of but carmelizing it will be our new one.
Just tried this recipe today. Thank you! Definitely my new favorite way to make cabbage 🥬
I don't know which I find more intoxicating, her voice, her beauty or her depth of knowledge.
Елена, вы просто лучше всех! Талант кулинарный, и ведущей. Бигус будете показывать, или я уже опоздал к столу?
My favorite way to eat cabbage.... I was raised on it.... My kids all love it too....
I deeply appreciate this video. I have for years preached the beauty of cabbage if you take the time to cook it properly and let the tru flavor develop. Your technique is slightly different from mine and produces more caramelized result so I must try this.
Thank you for the beautiful presentation and the new cabbage dish and thank you for not having music while you teach us thank you no music please
Keep the core, it's great for soup. No need to waste it.
Seeing the butter go in at the end made my day. Also love that it can be stored for a week in the fridge and reheated. Perfect low carb side dish! Thanks!
Yum! I love cabbage and this looks delicious.
.
I love your humor, your personality and the way you go about explaining your cooking 😊........ just found you you're amazing 💯
Use bacon grease....after browning some bacon....add back the bacon at the end. Also add thinly slice onion and a couple of thinly sliced apples (golden delicious or granny smith). Better in cast iron. Plenty of cracked pepper and a teaspoon of brown sugar. Any vinegar is fine. This is old great great grandma dish. Oh, salt pork is also good.
Wow!! Just made the Caramelized Cabbage dish and it is SO GOOD. I'm not a cook and my burner appears to cook at a higher temp than in the video so had to cut back to Med quicker than the recipe indicated. And, of course, it doesn't look as light and fluffy as Helen's but it turned out so good. My first attempt at cooking cabbage turned out wonderfully! Thank you, Helen!!
We fry sausage in a pan, then add cabbage to it and stir fry it like in the video until well browned. Then we add cooked farfalle and some parmesan. Great, cheap dinner.
I fry sausage and cabbage a lot. I'll skip the pasta, but the parmesan sounds like a great addition.
I was scrolling through the comments wondering if anyone had tried this caramelized cabbage with an alfredo type sauce. I am not doing keto, but I usually keep my carbs to about 100 grams per day. Reading these comments, I think this caramelized cabbage will be a great way to reduce the fettuccine noodles in my next pasta dish.
So grateful for this recipe, I have been enjoying making it a lot since it was posted. I love recipes that show that unpopular ingredients get to shine when done the right way!
That would be great with smoked pork chops!
Irish food
Cabbage is delicious. I don’t understand why people hate it. It’s even wonderful when it’s raw. In Central America, we use it for the base of our salads instead of lettuce. Cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, onions, cilantro, lime juice, vinegar, cumin and salt makes for something amazing! The cabbage is absolutely essential. It is just not the same with lettuce.
Can you do a video on sauerkraut? I tried it in Czechia and it was phenomenal
Here is a really fun sauerkraut dish: ruclips.net/video/hpWtfM0DRzI/видео.html (it's part of my duck breast video)
I am pretty sure youtube took my Food Wishes and ASMR subscriptions, combined them, and recommended this channel.
In Germany we know a similar dish named "Schichtkohl" (layered Cabbage). We just add minced meat
from the begin and
some onions. But otherwise it's almost the same dish.
I made mine with a 1/4 cup of bone broth. Absolutely Devine. This is truly comfort food. I will make this many times. Your are a great cook Helen.
Thank you so much for giving it a try :)
Yeah. I'm gonna need that whole pan,a big spoon and about 20 mins to myself.
MiselStarmo Me too!! 😆🤣😂
I love your channel. Your voice and presentation style are very pleasant and soothing it's almost therapeutic!
