Fiesta Cabbage

I had a head of cabbage. I don't know why I bought it.....I guess it looked good! So I had to decide what to do with it and didn't feel like making stuffed cabbage. I found this recipe and pretty much followed it with the exception of using less kielbasa and light butter (you can see in the picture).  It was delicious!

FIESTA CABBAGE
Makes 6 Servings
1 Serving = 7 PointsPlus®**


1 pound kielbasa, cut into 1/4” diagonal slices
2 TBSP butter
4 ounces red onion, diced (@ a medium onion)
1 green pepper, diced
2 pounds cabbage, chopped (@ a medium sized head)
1 (14.5 oz) can of diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper


In a very large nonstick skillet, brown the kielbasa. Remove from the pan, leaving the drippings in the pan. 


Add 2 TBSP butter. Saute' the onion and green pepper in the pan over a medium-high heat for @3 minutes.


Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low heat for 15 minutes or until the cabbage is tender. Uncover the pan for the last 5 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.



MY SPIN: I used 14 ounces of beef kielbasa and light butter but didn't figure up the P+ value for my changes. Abe and I both agreed that adding some garlic would be really good as well as a side of garlic sticks.  **The P+ value that you actually eat will depend upon how much of each ingredient you eat.......and I don't know of anyone, not even me when I was die-hard WW, who will take apart a completed meal to measure/weigh each ingredient!


Now for the 'legal mumbo-jumbo' to keep me out of court!!   *** The PointsPlus® value for this recipe was calculated by me (Jan Gomes) and is not an endorsement or approval of this recipe by Weight Watchers International, Inc., the owner of the PointsPlus™ registered trademark. ***
