This sounds great. Will give it a try soon.

This Sweet and Sour Melting Cabbage Turned Me Into a “Cabbage Person”​

This easy method brings out cabbage's sweetness.
...
If you’re not convinced that sweet and sour flavors work with cabbage, you’re missing out. Red wine vinegar brings a delicate acidity with subtle fruity undertones, while orange juice adds sweet brightness and those unmistakable citrus notes. Maple syrup adds a hint of caramel depth, and butter rounds it all out, binding the flavors together. The charred edges of the cabbage add just the right touch of bitterness that melds with all the flavors above.

Sweet and Sour German Red Cabbage​

A 4-ingredient easy, versatile side dish for pork, chicken, or beef.
...
This classic German red cabbage recipe is one of our favorite ways to prepare red cabbage—sautéed with butter, sprinkled with sugar and balsamic vinegar, and simmered until tender. The sugar and balsamic vinegar give the sautéed cabbage a delightful sweet and sour glaze.

When the holidays come round, we take the cabbage up a notch, adding chopped apples, onions, and, if we have them, roasted chestnuts. It's wonderful served alongside pork chops or a pork roast!

On a roll with cabbage (pun intended);

I Make This 5-Ingredient Cabbage “Lasagna” All the Time​

It’s a one-pot recipe that’s hearty, cozy, and satisfying.
...
I call this dish, a favorite in our household, cabbage “lasagna.” It’s made with chunks of green cabbage braised with Italian sausage and jarred marinara sauce. The “lasagna” part comes from mozzarella and ricotta cheeses that are layered on top before being popped under the broiler. The prep and ingredients are minimal, and the results are hearty and satisfying.

I pan fry meatballs in olive oil just to brown them & then I put them in the sauce to finish cooking on a low simmer. Browning them is the key & I never bake them.

I've heard of that method but never tried it. I make tomato sauce frequently & only use San Marzano tomatoes inported from Italy - DOP certified. They're less acidic with hardly any seeds. But they can be hard to find & they're expensive. Most of the mass marketed canned tomatoes found in supermarkets leave a lot to be disired, imho. They're too acidic with too many seeds & some are not skinned. Use San Marzano & you'll know the diference & never go back. I love onions but I never put them in tomato sauce.

I wouldn't serve jarred tomato sauce to my dog.
