In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, let’s celebrate the Irish with Butter Braised Cabbage with Caraway Seeds. This side dish compliments any main entrée and is easily made by combining all ingredients and allowing them to slowly simmer away on the stove! The Irish often make cabbage with bacon or pair it pork, ham, or sausage, but this version is light and vegetarian. Cheers!
