2 tbsp. butter
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 lb. shredded cabbage (generally, less that a small head, about 2 1/2 cups)
salt & pepper to taste

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter and sauté onion until golden; about 8 minutes. Add shredded cabbage and toss to mix it with the onion and coat it lightly with butter. Cover the pot, reduce heat to low and let steam 8 to 10 minutes; until just tender.
