I was just going to post this, glad I dont have to. I make it a bit diferently. I use 1/4 cup diced pancetta and cook it in a little olive oil b4 adding the cabbage. I also love this with rye bread and swiss cheese. A good Tuscan wheat bread is great with fontina and gruyere. Its great with a good homemade meat stock.
