This is a German dish that I have learned. The bitterness of the cabbage is softened by the sweetness of the apples and brown sugar. It is not only stimulating to the palate, but very appealing to the eye. Its one of my favorite dishes that I know how to cook. =^w^=

Hmm, I may have to try this. I never really liked cabbage before but while I was in Spain, a bar owner there made up some cabbage I adored. He just sliced the cabbage finely and sauteed it in olive oil with bits of Iberico ham, then drizzled it with balsamic after it was on the plate.
Also, you say to make sure you have the correct sized pan, but you don't specify what that means. Do you just mean one that's large enough to hold everything?
