Core cabbage, shred finely and wash well, dry with towel or spinner.
Add 8 T. butter or canola oil to large pot and heat.
Add cabbage, onion and salt. Toss with the butter. Cover pot and let steam until wilted, about 8-10 minutes.
Toss again. Cover pot, decrease heat to medium-low and cook for 1 ½ hours longer, tossing every 20 minutes. If the juices have not evaporated after first hour, increase heat.
After 2 hours, cabbage will begin to brown. Raise heat and continue to cook, uncovered, tossing more often, until cabbage is deep brown.
If you choose, you can serve the dish just as a veggie or add the cooked pasta. Season with black pepper and garnish with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
