Drain, then toss in a bowl with the butter, oil, the parsley, chives, and salt and pepper, to taste.

WORLD'S BEST BRAISED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F / 163°C with the rack in the middle. Coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with the olive oil or melted fat.
• Lop off the tough stem end of the cabbage and divide it into 6-8 wedges. Keep the core attached so the wedges stay intact after the long cooking time. Don't worry: The tough core will get super tender, too.
• Place the cabbage pieces in a single layer in the greased dish - a little overlap is okay. Toss on the onion and carrots and drizzle with broth and the olive oil. Season well with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper (if using).
• Cover tightly with foil and place in the oven.
• Cook the cabbage undisturbed for 1 hour. Crack open the foil cover and carefully flip the wedges over. Reseal the dish tightly and braise for another hour or until fork-tender.
• At this point, you can remove the cabbage to cool and store in the fridge until you're ready to eat it (up to 4 days). When you're ready to serve, crank the oven up to 425°F / 218°C and bake until browned (about 15 minutes).
• Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar and serve.

BEST BRAISED CABBAGE

Steps:

• 1-Heat the oven to 325. Lightly oil a large gratin dish or a baking dish (9 by 13 inch works well). 2-Trimming the cabbage: Peel off and discard any bruised or ragged outer leaves from the cabbage. The cabbage should weigh close to 2 pounds (if you don't have a kitchen scale, consult the grocery store receipt). If the cabbage weighs more than 2 pounds, it won't fit in the baking dish and won't braise as beautifully. To remedy this, cut away a wedge of the cabbage to trim it down to size. Save the leftover wedge for salad or coleslaw. Then cut teh cabbage into 8 wedges. Arrange the wedges in teh baking dish, they may overlap some, but do your best to make a single layer. 3-The Braise:Scatter in the onion and carrot. Drizzle over the oil and stock or water. Season with salt, pepper, and the pepper flakes. Cover tightly with foil, and slide into the middle of the oven to braise until the vegetables are completely tender, about 2 hours. Turn the cabbage wedges with tongs after an hour. Don't worry if the wedges want to fall apart as you turn them: just do your best to keep them intact. If the dish is drying out at all, add a few tablespoons of water. 4-The finish: Once the cabbage is completely tender, remove the foil, increase the oven heat to 400, and roast until the vegetables begin to brown, another 15 minutes or so. SErve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with fleur de sel or other coarse salt.
