We get some nice tropical cabbage in Samoa. The heads aren’t as tight as the cold country variety and the flavour is milder but it’s good. We have the University Of Hawaii Department Of Tropical Agriculture to thank for this variety. Read more Thanks guys. When it’s in it’s cheap and delicious. We usually get three crops a year and I make up about 5 gal. (20L) of sour kraut each time. Fresh and raw Saur Kraut can be subbed for the cabbage in this dish & makes a very nice variation; I like it. Don’t even think about using canned or jarred Kraut. Yuck. Lot’s of choices here, like a bit of kielbasa or other spicy sausage. This recipe is for three or four people; depending on apatite. See less

How to make it

• Heat the Olive oil in a very deep frying pan or shallow pot, with a heavy bottom.
• Add the bacon and beef and simmer until the bacon is just cooked and the beef is browned.
• Add all the rest of the ingredients and simmer while stirring until it’s well blended and simmering nicely.
• Reduce heat and cover.
• Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is as done as you like it.
• Serve with a garnish of your choice.
I often serve this with saffron rice or fresh biscuits or Naan.

Okay, sir...made this tonight to go with a new Pomegranate Glazed Chicken recipe I created... VERY good with it! :) Here's what I did: We don't get "great" cabbage this time of year, which is why I wanted to do something full of flavor to surround the mediocre cabbage! :) I crisped the bacon, then set it aside. I followed the rest of the recipe in that same pan, so used all the bacon grease(I didn't add the beef since I was using this as a side dish to a poultry meal), and then added the bacon pieces to the top, at serving. They remained nice and crisp and added a great flavor and texture. Since I liked the idea of saurkraut being used, I did add a nice healthy splash of rice vinegar to give that acid bite. The cucumbers I had to choose from were sad and worse, so I left that out. Otherwise, I followed the recipe, and it was wonderful. Thank you, El Gourmand, for another good'un! :) I added my pic.

This was sooooo good. I used polish sausage and made it a one plate meal. The spices were perfect. Making it again for my Sunday Family Gathering. I would give it 5 forks but this system won't let me.
