WOW! A wonderful meal. I followed the directions with one change.... used pinquito beans instead of great northern beans only because I had them. Added the cabbage wedges last with the center side down. Cooked just until the cabbage was barely tender. Thanks for a great recipe! Edited to add: Have made this at least 4 more times, but w/o the beans. One of our favorite meals!
