Zero-waste crescent rolls with cabbage | Crispy homemade one-pan dish

Clean the cabbage, remove the outer leaves and the core, then grate it or cut it into thin strips. Sprinkle with the salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to release its moisture, then squeeze it out thoroughly.

Melt 2 tablespoons of lard in a deep, wide skillet or pot, sprinkle over the granulated sugar, and lightly caramelize over medium heat until golden brown. Toss in the finely chopped onion, then add the squeezed cabbage.

Sauté the cabbage over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes until nicely caramel brown, soft, and fragrant. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
