No cream....used milk (2/3 the recipe) and added 1/2 stick of salted butter. Added so much flavor to the dish and made the dish creamy and brought forth the cabbage flavor even moreReplies 1

A bit confused about which part of the cabbage I am to use. Am I to use the outer leaves that I stripped off, or am I to discard those outer leaves and use the remaining head?Replies 1
