Having made a personal decision to embrace the African Heritage Diet (i.e.way of eating) this is the very first recipe made being that I just started today :-). I really enjoyed the taste of the braised cabbage. I ended up adding salt and pepper to taste because the 2 pinches of salt was not enough for me. I also used more garlic because I love garlic! Made cornbread and sliced tomatoes in a vinaigrette dressing to go with the cabbage. Looking forward to trying another recipe tomorrow. I am so glad to have found this information!!!
