Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of cabbage
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Worth the troubleMarch 23, 2008By Annandhersheep
"I just tried this dish and really loved it. It's a bit fussy to prepare, but well worth the trouble. I changed it a bit in that I used canned, diced chile peppers instead of the fresh peppers, though I doubt it changed the overall effect much."
