Step 5

To make stewed cabbage, start by cutting the cabbage into coarse pieces. Boil water in a saucepan and add the cabbage. Cook for 5 minutes until the cabbage begins to soften. Find a pan and make a white sauce with the boiling water from the cabbage, milk and cream. Put the cabbage in the sauce and mix well. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
