    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 tablespoon (heaping) grated fresh ginger
    2 tablespoons butter
    3/4 cup heavy cream

    1. In a very large pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
    2. Add ginger; cook for 1 minute. Add cabbage, stirring to coat with butter. Cook, stirring occasionally for 15-20 minutes, until cabbage has softened and caramelized.
    3. Turn heat to low. Stir in cream and scrape brown bits up from the pan. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Uncover, add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a few minutes, stirring once or twice, to let some of the liquid evaporate. Serve. less
