OK, I have to admit that it’s been two months since I made this cabbage but looking at these pictures makes me realize I have to make it again immediately. I feel like it’s always that way with cabbage – I totally forget about it as a meal option until something like St. Patrick’s Day comes along and then I wonder how I could have gone so long without it.
After trying this recipe you’ll be a lot less likely to forget about this underrated veggie. The sweet-tangy flavor is addictive and you’ll love how fast and easy it is to prepare – not to mention inexpensive.
We usually serve this with sausages for a quick weeknight meal. Seriously, we’re talking no more than 25 minutes from fridge to table for a warm, hearty, crazy satisfying dinner. Go cabbage!

How is mustard seed purchased? Could I use some German-style stone ground mustard?
Hi Lynette! Mustard seed is sold in the spice section in little spice jars.
You could stir in some stone ground mustard at the end (a very small amount so it’s not overpowering) or just leave it out without too much impact on flavor. Enjoy!
Hey!
I tried this recipe yesterday and it was really good, even if that doesn’t really taste vinegar in the end (I like vinegar haha).
But I’ll do it again anyway, so thank you for the recipe!
Yay! I’m so glad you liked it. I always sneak in a little extra vinegar, too ;-D
