Steps:

Cover the skillet and cook until the cabbage is completely softened and the liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 20 minutes. Fold in the dill and transfer to a serving bowl.
BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES
This is an adaptation of a classic cabbage dish that I never tire of. The cabbage cooks for a long time, until it is very tender and sweet. I like to serve this with bulgur, or as a side dish with just about anything. You can halve the quantities if you don't want to make such a large amount.

Steps:
- In a large casserole or Dutch oven, melt the butter and cook the shallots and apples over medium-low heat until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cabbage, vinegar, three-fourths cup wine, the honey and 1 teaspoons salt. Tie the thyme and juniper berries in a cheesecloth bag and stir in with the rest of the ingredients. Cover the pot and bring to a slow simmer.
- Simmer the cabbage until tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to make sure that the cabbage doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Stir the remaining one-fourth cup wine into the pot halfway through cooking, and add additional water throughout the cooking process if the liquid evaporates and the cabbage becomes dry.
- When the cabbage is almost done, toast the caraway seeds in a small sauté pan over medium-high heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Shake the pan frequently so the seeds do not burn. Remove from heat.
- When the cabbage is tender, remove the pot from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the toasted caraway seeds, then cool, cover and refrigerate until needed. Reheat, adjust the seasoning if needed and serve sprinkled with toasted hazelnuts.

Steps:
- In a large Dutch-oven, bring the wine, honey, oil, and fennel seeds to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is soft but not mushy, about 1 hour.
Tips:
- Use a variety of cabbage: For a more complex flavor, try using a mix of red and green cabbage.
- Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the braising liquid.
- Sauté the cabbage before braising: This will help to caramelize the sugars in the cabbage and give it a deeper flavor.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will give the cabbage its flavor, so be sure to use a liquid that you enjoy the taste of. You can use a combination of water, broth, wine, or vinegar.
- Add some aromatics to the braising liquid: Aromatics like garlic, onion, and carrots will help to infuse the cabbage with flavor.
- Braise the cabbage until it is tender: The cabbage should be tender but still have a slight crunch to it. Depending on the type of cabbage you are using, this may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
- Serve the cabbage warm: Braised cabbage is best served warm, but it can also be served cold or at room temperature.
