Comforting Cabbage

Cabbage has to be one the least expensive vegetables out there. You can get a whole head for 69 cents at your local grocery store. The crunchy texture and natural sweetness lends itself well to many different types of dishes. My parents usually cook theirs in some bacon grease and let it stew down into a nice dish. This recipe is a straightforward and a little healthier but still maintains the great attributes of the cabbage. You can click on the picture for a closer view.
