Thank you for this recipe! We love cabbage, and I will certainly make this one very soon.

I love the bay leaf tradition!

This sounds good.

A nice alternative to my 'typical' coleslaw.......I like red cabbage too.

I remember having this in a good German restaurant with saurbraten. My dh LOVED it, and I've been looking for some new side dishes to make, so this will go on my list. Thanks for it. I didn't realize how easy it is to make either.

btw, I love your mom's little tradition. Can I ask what nationality you are? From your recipes, it seems you're of European descent. Well so are we, (italian & polish), and so I just got curious.

I too had this at a German restaurant, it was a side dish that came with almost every entree ordered. I fell in love and am happy to see you post your recipe here.
