INGREDIENTS:
Be sure that your cabbage has been washed clean and is dry. Peel the cabbage and remove & discard the inner core; chop the cabbage into small pieces. Place in a large pot along with the broth and marrow bones. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, then stir in bread crumbs, saffron, and salt to taste. Use enough bread crumbs to slightly thicken the mixture. Return to boil then reduce heat to a slow bubble. Cook for several more minutes. Remove beef bones; place cabbage and broth in serving dishes. Serve it forth! |
