Instructions

       1/2     head cabbage

                   Boiling water to cover

           1     tablespoon caraway seed, optional

           1     small onion, chopped

           1     tablespoon butter

           2     tablespoons flour

           2     tablespoons vinegar

           2     tablespoons sugar

 

Chop cabbage, place in pan and pour boiling water over to cover. Add caraway seed, if using. Cook for about 10-15 minutes. Drain, saving 3 cups of the cabbage water. Fry onion in the butter just until soft, and set aside. Mix together flour, vinegar and sugar. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the reserved cabbage water to make a paste. Add the onions to the cooked cabbage. Pour the remaining cabbage water over the cooked cabbage and onions, stir in the vinegar paste and cook on medium heat until thickened.
