This recipe is another family favorite. My brother Leo first showed me how to make this recipe many years ago and it has been a family favorite ever since. Now many members of my family all make this delicious tasting side dish, through out the year. It can be made in the oven or on the grill, either way is delicious. This family favorite recipe is also in my cookbook of 795 recipes.

    GARNISHING TO PLEASE: Or you may choose to add red bell pepper strips between each wedge of cabbage as I did in the picture. I also filled one half of a bell pepper with catsup, and another with fresh Horseradish, and garnished the tops with chopped green onions & the other with Chopped red bell pepper. There were not enough cabbage leaves to line the platter ,so I used Fresh Mustard greens. Use your imagination to make your food more appealing,& appetizing.
