--- prep time: 10 min cook time: 1.5 hours tags: czech, side source: Petra Kupská --- 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!
