One of my favorite dishes is cauliflower; believe it or not, I even eat it raw. This is something I’ve passed on to my daughter. The smothered cabbage is a recipe from my mom, and I love it. Mom even breaks spaghetti into it. One day we’ll try it together. I always add some Pickled Olives, and I must say the result is very pleasing—so delicious. We often eat it in our family.
Smothered cabbage with olives is very easy to prepare, and you can customize it to your liking by adding your favorite spices and aromas. Here are some other ideas with cauliflower.
