As you probably know, there are a lot more veggies in California- at least half our friends- and a lot more who don't eat red meat. For me, that was entirely by accident and happened cold turkey as soon as I read the book "Fast Food Nation" in 2001. It's not a sacrifice at all, I've never even been tempted to eat it again.<BR/><BR/>As far as this recipe, I was very skeptical- where's the flavor? - and of course you could add the sausage- but it's actually very subtle and delicious, and the crispy onions are the key.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599239118658166008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718743594504287977.post-42980079471710405502009-03-10T09:18:00.000-07:002009-03-10T09:18:00.000-07:00Are you vegetarians?

My favorite dish is the one I invented that involves cabbage and sausage. It's a one-dish, but mostly done in the frying pan. My favorite flavoring in it is a half-n-half mix of sherry and soy sauce, something I picked up from the first Moosewood Cookbook. Whatever's on hand is what goes in: garlic, onion, carrots, green peppers, more exotic bottled sauces, but always the cabbage and always the sausage (the sausage, usually Italian mildly hot, is cooked first in water to get rid of some of the fat, and the cooled to be ready to cut up in small pieces and throw in at the end).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
