Spanish Style Cabbage

            I absolutely love cabbage and when I can come up with new recipes, I am in heaven. This one I decided to try to make a Spanish Style. My family loves Spanish Rice and could eat it every day if I let them.

This is one of those recipes that you can make changes to if you choose to. You can add in other ingredients or remove some if you do not like what I have added. Truth be told, I purposely double this recipe so that I can have some for left overs the next day.

            When you have cabbage, you have a side dish that works for any meal you want to make. It will taste great with Pork, Beef, Ham and chicken. It is a perfect match for all of the possibilities. This dish also works perfectly if you decide to grill burgers. It would be a little heavy on the beef intake, but when you use lean ground beef, it should be great.

            There are so many possibilities when it comes to cabbage, both as a side and as an entree.

Frequently Asked Questions:

            Can I leave the beef out?

You could and no harm is done. You could also add in some shredded chicken or cubed ham.

            Can I use this as a main entree?

Definitely! When it has protein, vegetables  it is a complete meal. This is great if you are cutting back on carbs and gluten also.

            Can I add in other items?

You could add green peppers, red peppers, or green onions. You could add bacon pieces, diced tomatoes and corn.
