Directions

This comes from the Better HOmes and Gardens New Cook Book 1989.

Place meat in a dutch oven, adding juices and spices from package. Add water to cover meat. Add peppers and bay leaves. Bring to boiling, reduce heat. Cover and simmer 2 hours or until almost tender.

Add carrots, potatoes, and rutabaga. Return to boiling, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add cabbage cover, cook 15-20 minutes until tender.

Discard bay leaves before serving.

We do not generally like rutabaga, but it adds a wonderful flavor to this dish. However, it does not smell great. Don't let that fool you. We like to eat the cabbage the next day after it has had a chance to soak all of the juices and flavor from the pan. Deeeeeeelicious!
