Reviews
This cabbage is excellent. I’ve always sautéed my cabbage with olive oil and a little salt and pepper; however, this took it to another level. Absolutely my new favorite way to cook cabbage. I didn’t change anything but I did use thick cut bacon.
Flavor was a very good base for the cabbage.
Can’t recommend this recipe enough! I ‘ve made very similar ( but with chicken broth) I add a quick protein ( shredded cooked leftover chicken, beef, pork ect. I add frozen peas last minute but I do add quartered baby potatoes. Tonight I am adding sliced cooked german sausages.. and using the leftover cabbage from Tuesday’s cabbage rolls.
My go to for braised cabbage. Sometimes I use chicken stock if I don’t have a decent beer on hand. Either way, it’s delicious and great with pork chops!
This was great even changing the beer to vegetable broth. I will definately be using this recipe again.
This recipe turned out awesome. This will be the only way I make cabbage moving forward.
The first time I made it exactly according to the recipe and it was fantastic! The second time, I used more bacon (I had a bigger head of cabbage) and added shredded carrots. It was amazing!!! Definitely will be making this often!
My kind of food ,I am French and I know FOOD
