This was one of the best cabbage recipes I've tried. However, I omitted the bacon because I was out and I completely forgot about the vinegar (which I'm sure would have made a huge difference in the flavor). I also added diced carrots, 1/4 cup of chicken broth during cooking, and a few dashes of crushed red pepper. My husband, who normally doesn't like cabbage, enjoyed it very much.

We enjoyed this dish tonight with our dinner. I've added sour cream to sauteed cabbage before, but not with the addition of vinegar. I didn't have tarragon vinegar, so I used apple cider vinegar as you mentioned -- it gave the cabbage a little extra tartness along with the sour cream. Made for ZWT9-Scandinavia, August, 2013.

Since I am part Danish, I decided to make this the Danish way. Since I'm a vegetarian, I used a substitute bacon product. Instead of bacon fat I used a bit of vegetable oil, and added salt and a little hickory smoke seasoning. Finally, I substituted a thick Greek yogurt for the sour cream but otherwise made no changes. Really excellent salad. I've had combination vinegar and bacon dishes before, and this didn't disappoint. I also really liked the sour cream (yogurt) with this. BF enjoyed this very much two. Cabbage is such an underrated vegetable. Great recipe, Bethie!
