I almost followed directions! I only had green cabbage & I didn't have fresh thyme in the house so I used a hefty sprinkling of dried. YUM!! I ate the whole thing for dinner tonight!! I did cook the cabbage longer than 1 minute - maybe 3? - until it was all wilted but still crunchy. This was delicious & my veggie starved body thanks thee. :) Made for Aussie Swap 12/13.
