Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole pan.
Lay the cabbage wedges in the dish as flat as you can so they absorb the braising liquid. Sprinkle the cabbage with carrots and onions.
Drizzle the dish with chicken broth and season with a healthy amount of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Scatter the pats of butter over the vegetables and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Place the dish in the oven and cook for about 1 hour. Remove the dish from the oven and carefully flip the cabbages using tongs. Cover and bake for another hour or until fork tender.
Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees, carefully remove the foil from the dish, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cabbage lightly browns. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar.

I prefer to mash the mixture well with a fork versus blending it with a mixer or food processor, especially if piping it. The consistency is much better for piping and spooning.
Use lime or lemon juice to prolong the bright green color of the avocado. These deviled eggs are best served within an hour of adding the mixture to the egg white halves.
You can prepare the mixture up to one day in advance, but spoon it into a plastic seal bag and squeeze as much of the air out as possible. Place the mixture in the fridge and use it within 24 hours.
For a variety of flavors, garnish these eggs with chopped cilantro, paprika, chopped chives, sliced green onions, sliced olives, radish slivers, minced red onion, bacon crumbles, capers, jalapeno rings, or smoked salmon.
