made this last week and it was amazing. the only thing I did differently was add some water, because it seemed to need it (I'm at 5600+ above sea level, so I'm not sure if that had something to do with how dry the cabbage seemed)
This is absolutely my all-time favorite recipe! I have been making it every Thanksgiving since I cut the recipe out of the newspaper over 20 years ago. The aroma of it cooking is the smell of the holidays. Best. Recipe. Ever. Thank you NYT!!
