This is a simple but great, delicious, nutritious and cheap vegetable side dish perfect for any lunch, dinner including any holiday meals like Christmas or Thanksgiving as well.

You can also use any onions for this recipe including yellow onios, white onions or red onions, but in my opinion the slight sweet flavor of yellow onions pairs best with the cabbage in this recipe!
