Creamed Cabbage- Norwegian Style

Mama's Kitchen (Hope)'s Note:

I remember eating this when I was younger. It was the only way I liked cabbage then. This seems to really bring out the sweetness of the vegetable and remove any harshness- which kids just do not enjoy. As a kid it looked like something drenched in gravy or whipped cream- looks are deceiving- but whatever gets the kid to eat the veggie was cool with my mom.

Instead of boiling the cabbage I opted to saute it lightly in the butter (using extra as needed) until it was nicely wilted. After that I followed directions as written. It's delicious. I like cabbage -- and this is a nice version of preparation! Thanks for sharing!

I was looking for a new veggie recipe for cabbage and this one called out to me, it looked so good! It was just what I was looking for, something different! We loved it and I will certainly be making this one again!
