I substituted olive oil for butter in this recipe. As well as Apple Cider Vinegar for the Red Wind Vinegar. My quantaties varied from the original recipe as well.
I served this dish with Braised Chicken with Tomatoes and Indian Spices. I KNEW my family would be overwhelmed with spice had I used a Poblano Pepper. I substituted a Bell Pepper instead.
Savoy Cabbage and Bell Pepper (You can use a frying pepper or a bell pepper instead of the original recipe's Poblano if you can't take the heat)
Seasonings
Tasty Pan De-glazing Elements
Clean & Cut the Cabbage. Set Aside.
Measure & Mix Together Caraway Seeds, Cumin & Coriander. Set Aside.
Warm the Oil, Add the Seasonings & Stir
Add the Cabbage to the Oil and Seasonings
Stir the cabbage to coat with the oil and the seasonings.
Add Peppers
Allow Cabbage to Caramelize. There is a HUGE difference between caramelized & BURNT. And er uh...Let's just say I walked away from the stove too long. UGH! I'll be re- posting a final photo when I make this again! Apologies!

This was tasty. My husband enjoyed it the most. I was nervous about using the caraway seeds because he ALWAYS complains when I buy seeded rye bread. I didn't tell him what was in this. He just kept telling me how "delicious" everything smelled. After having eaten this, he said it was "exotic" & the different flavors were "bursting" in his mouth. I took that to mean it was a winner.
