5 star all the way! - This recipe is so simple and the end result is so good . I got everthing ready i in the morning so it only took me minutes to prepare, I only cooked the cabbage for about 8 minutes (I like it crunchy) added the vinegar after 4 minutes.Instructions are clear and easy to follow . Thank you Lennie for a great recipe. P.S. there is a bit left over and that will be going into my "clean the Fridge: fried rice - Can't wait Added note: I made this again last night for about the 6th time! with a difference I chopped up a large onion and sauted it it the butter/oil until it was really golden brown then followed the recipe except I used Balsamic vinegar - either way the original recipe or last nights variation this is an excellent veggie dish Thanks again Lennie

This is the recipe that I use, to get my husband to eat cooked cabbage, but if you add sliced ONIONS to the fry pan the dish takes on a whole new flavor--- like carmalized onions! It is delicious -believe me!

My family is very fussy but I put this on the table and didn't tell them what it was...no one asked either. They all liked it very much but I would add much more basalmic vinegar next time. I think it needs more flavor. Instead of chopping my own cabbage I used cole slaw mix from the store. I will make this again soon!

I agree that this recipe could do with a bit more flavour and would suggest doubling the flavouring ingredients

I tasted as I stirred, and,like the others, thought the dish needed more flavor. I had already doubled the brown sugar and the balsamic vinegar,but still, it needed something. I crushed nearly 1/2 tsp dried tarragon and sprinkled ground ginger on it. It added the flavor I was looking for, but next time I won't double the sugar. I thought it was too sweet. DH gobbled it up and kept saying how delicious it was, and he is not too fond of cabbage..he ate the remainer that was in the pan and asked me to make it again!I had a small head of cabbage because DH dislikes cabbage!I used onions instead of garlic.

Normally a recipe would have to knock my socks off before I gave it a 5 but this cabbage was great (I'm not the biggest cabbage fan). I will certainly make it again.

After reading the reviews, I was unsure of whether to use red wine vinegar or balsamic. I went with the balsamic because I love the stuff. I also added sliced onion, which was AWESOME!! I didn't cook for quite 20 min. I would say it was more like 15, and the texture was perfect. I might be weird, but I think this recipe would be GREAT on hot dogs!!! Well, at any rate, definitely 5 stars in my book! Thanks Lennie! ~Manda

Dee-lish! I've made this several times now for my husband and I and for extended family and it has been enjoyed by all who have tried it. I took one reviewer's advice and added onion (cooking it in the butter for a wee while before adding the cabbage) and I think that makes a great recipe even better. Once or twice I have used balsamic vinegar instead of the red wine vinegar and I think I prefer that, plus I (at least) doubled the amount of the vinegar. Thanks, Lennie, for a fabulously useful cabbage recipe.

This is delicious! I used garlic powder as I had run out of garlic, the sweet and sour flavour in this dish is really nice. Thanks for posting Lennie. =)

This was really good, Lennie! I used chopped onions instead of garlic, plain vinegar, and butter. Had this tonight with chappatis for a very nice dinner.
