Spasiba! This was truly great Russian tasting comfort food. I served the cabbage recipe over egg noodles. And, to include all the Russian National Vegetables in one meal, we had beets and a cucumber salad as sides. My boys (born in Russia) loved it all. I did cook the sausage in a bit of water for a couple of minutes before adding them - that way, I removed some of the fat.

Being from the south originally,we eat cabbage and black-eyed peas on New Year's day.I had polish sausage,cabbage and egg noodles on hand and searched for a recipe.Am so glad to find this one.It is cooking now and tastes great.I will be serving on the noodles with buttermilk cornbread and a can of b/e peas.What a meal.A friend had told me she cooks a dish like this but adds the noodles in with sour cream to bind it all together.Sounds good too but I will do that next time.Thanks for the recipe,now if someone would drop in I would have enough to go around.
