Cabbage Marsala
Cabbage and SpinachA Delicious way to prepare cabbage. Cabbage Marsala provides a new flavor with the healthy nutrients we need. Here we partner with the popular vegetable spinach to get the nutrients of spinach, but we mellow it out with cabbage. This dish can be mild or spicy. It has so much more taste, texture, and
nutrients if prepared this way, instead of the boil-until-dead method of old. We use Garam Marsala which is an Indian spice made up of a combination of spices. Marsala can be purchased at most grocery stores. However if you cannot find it, we have listed the ingredients below that you can simply combine and store in a tight jar.
