Creamy Savoy Cabbage Recipe


Creamy Savoy Cabbage Recipe
This is a version of the German dish my mom used to make, she didn't use the cream but made a medium white sauce. Perfect for a cold fall day.

My mother made something like this years ago - I remember how delicious it was...thank you for bringing back this memory - I hope to make this soon!


Wonderful thanks for the post! Joymarie


Sounds delicious!


I have been looking for a recipe for savoy cabbage called Wirsing that my mother made years ago. I think this could be it, with the white sauce. Was your mother from Bavaria?

Haha funny you should say that 35plus...my mom made the same thing when we were kids and called it exactly what u just did...i love a lot of the german foods she use to make like the different spatzle dishes


Wirsing is savoy cabbage in German, so that sorta makes sense :) ... I just tried the recipe and it was a hit at our dinner table...
