This cabbage was much enjoyed by everyone tonight, I omitted the caraway seed because DH will not eat anything with them. The flavor of this dish ended up with a sweet and sour sort of flavor, but better! It was very mild and pleasant. Not difficult to make but the cabbage took longer to cook to the point that I wanted than stated. I have now made 3 of nitko's Croatian dishes and simply loved every one! I highly recommend that you give them a try. Made for PAC, Fall '07
