"My mom, from northern Germany, used to make this when I was a kid and called it Weißkohl -- white cabbage. My dad, from Germany's Rhineland called it Grünkohl --green cabbage. Whatever you call it, it's a yummy addition to a fall or winter meal. It's a quick way to make a cabbage side dish when you don't want to open a can of sauerkraut or don't have the time to ferment your own!"
