Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Chop the cabbage and fennel bulbs into thin slices.

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onion, cabbage, and fennel, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, and cook for another 5 minutes.

Pour into a 9”×13” baking pan, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes.

Use leftover cabbage and fennel bake to make pasties.
