Excellent recipe. Followed the recipe with a couple tweaks. I added 1/2 c sliced mushrooms, 1/2 c sliced onion, and 1/2 t caraway seeds. Oh so delicious!

I made this for our dinner tonight although Russ wasn't too keen on the whole idea. I think he expected the beer would be too over powering, but he gave in and I made it any way! We both decided this was REALLY delicious and so very simple to make. I used raw links-Spicy Sicillian Sausages-which I cooked completely before slicing then into three pieces and continuing with the recipe,. My cabbage wasn't a green one, so i added some chopped parsley to finish the dish and brighten it up a bit. Thanks so much for a great comfort dish we will be making again soon.
