Vegetarian Network Austin's Note:

This recipe was featured in our June/July 2009 newsletter and was sampled at our June 2009 Potluck Dinner. It was adapted from the recipe in Greens Glorious Greens! by Johnna Albi & Catherine Walthers www.Amazon.com/dp/0312141084. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sturdy, abundant and inexpensive, cabbage is a long-standing dietary staple throughout the world and is so widely cultivated and stores so well that it is available throughout the year. They belong to the Cruciferae family of vegetables along with kale, broccoli, collards and Brussels sprouts. Cabbage is very high in vitamins C and K, and a decent source of dietary fiber.
