MOM'S POLISH STEWED CABBAGE

Mom's Polish Stewed Cabbage image

My mother often served a delicious Polish dish made with cabbage. We always topped ours with a dollop of sour cream and sometimes served this over mashed potatoes. You can make this just using the cabbage, but I add kielbasa or smoked turkey for additional flavour. Delicious.
