I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stew turned out really watery. I think I added too much liquid.

The cabbage was a bit tough in this stew. I think I'll cook it for a little longer next time.

This stew is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover cabbage. I added some carrots and celery to the stew and it turned out great.

This stew is so hearty and flavorful! The cabbage is tender and the smoked sausage adds a delicious smoky flavor. I served it with mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family.
