Instructions

1
Cut the cabbage into 2-inch wedges. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, brown sugar (if using), salt, and pepper to make the oil mixture. Brush the wedges and place them in a hot skillet over medium-high heat with the oiled sides down.

Sear the cabbage wedges until browned, about 5 minutes per side.

In the same skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook slowly until deep golden, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat if browning too quickly.

Add garlic in the last two minutes of cooking onions and stir around for 2 minutes until fragrant.
