Cabbage Wedges With Cheese Sauce
We celebrate St Patrick's Day with a big meal each year and cabbage usually plays some part in the feast. One year, a guest brought this cabbage dish to share and it was a big hit. She originally found the recipe in an issue of Taste of Home magazine. The chili sauce called for in this recipe is not particularly spicy (although hot versions are also sold) and is usually sold in a bottle in the ketchup aisle in US supermarkets. The brand I most often have used is Heinz.
