“This dish was a such a great find. Around St. Patrick’s Day cabbage goes on sale for such a good price that it is hard to pass up. But then what to do with so much extra cabbage? I’m actually not that fond of just plain old boiled or sautéed cabbage, but this makes it really interesting while still highlighting the cabbage. You can add even more flavor with bacon or make it a more substantial meal by adding kielbasa.” – April Ferre
