+Halve the @red cabbage{1%head}, cut out the tough stem and remove the top leaves.
+Slice or grate the remainder.
+
+In a #large pot{}, fry the @onion{3}(finely chopped) in @lard{2%tbs} until they are light brown.
+
+Move the onions to the side of the saucepan, sliding the pot if possible so that the onion part is away from the heat source.
+
+Put @sugar{1/2%cup} on the free surface of the saucepan and let it melt.
+Once the sugar starts to turn golden, add the chopped cabbage and mix everything together.
+Don't be alarmed if the sugar forms hard lumps; it will dissolve as the cabbage stews!
+
+Season the cabbage with @salt{1%tsp}, @caraway seeds{1%tbs} and pour in @vinegar{1/2%cup}.
+Stir well, then turn down the heat.
+Cover the pot with a lid and simmer on low heat for about ~{45%min}.
+
+Remove the lid, raise the heat to medium and allow any liquid that the cabbage has released to evaporate.
+Stir occasionally.
+Once the liquid has evaporated and the cabbage starts to fry and stick to the bottom of the pot, you're done!
