Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 med. sized cabbage, shredded (about 1 qt.)

1 med. sized onion, cut in half lengthwise

thinly sliced

1/2 cup canned chicken broth, diluted according to directions

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

2 cups peeled, seeded

chopped tomato

Salt

black pepper, freshly ground

Preparation

Add cabbage, onion, chicken broth, thyme and several grinds of black pepper to the melted butter and oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Stir well, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste, recover and simmer 10 minutes more until tender-crisp. Uncover and boil down over high heat if too juicy. You can add another tablespoon of butter if your diet permits (I prefer a handful of chopped fresh parsley) and serve
