Savoy cabbage with walnuts and onions

You can make this vegan by leaving out the butter.

Method 

Heat the butter and the olive oil in a large pot and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, and then add the cabbage. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn down the heat, stir in the walnuts and continue cooking for about 10 more minutes. Add the stock and cook, stirring often, for 15 minutes more or until the liquid is completely absorbed. Check seasoning and serve.
