  1. Delicious, we really liked the stew, very easy to make. we love cabbage and this another good way to fix it. I had ham slices frozen in freezer. Served it with a green salad with fruit.Thank you for the recipe.
     
  2. This was a hit at dinner. It was a snap to make. I prepared mine in a slow cooker. The only problem was that the sauce didn't thicken up. I served it over brown rice and the family loved it. The next time, I will add more caraway and not add as much water. Thanks Mimi
     
  3. I made this a little thicker with the cornstarch, added a ton of mushrooms and served it over brown rice. My family LOVES it and we eat it alot!! (even the ones that say they don't like cabbage)

  1. I omit mushrooms because my girls won't eat them, though wife and I love 'shrooms in everything. Being as it's a cabbage stew, I just sub the water for Guinness. Smells great in the slow cooker right now, we can't wait till dinner time!
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper) I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke) On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
