Yum! Although I've eaten braised cabbage before, this was the first time that I've made it. It was simple to put together and tasted great. I halved the recipe and used the optional ingredients too for a really nice flavor. Thanks Scarlett for a nice treat. Made by an Unruly Under the Influence for ZWT6.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me.
