This was good. I did everything on the stove, which was good as there was so much liquid. I followed others, and used less vinegar and omitted the mint. Dish reminded me of red cabbage dish. Next time may try to add beer vs chicken stock.

So delicious - I substituted apple cider vinegar and left out the mint. I removed the cover and cooked for an extra 20-25 mins to concentrate the broth. Killer with pork tenderloin & potatoes of your choice.

I would give this dish 5 stars on taste. I'm giving it 4 stars because I prefer to make a faster version in a pan (without giving up the flavor. I heated the ingredients in a pan, brought to a quick boil, covered and steamed for 10-15 minutes. I stirred in the crispy bacon pieces during service. I left out the mint because I didn't have it on-hand.

Just tried the recipe and it would have been good if it was not for the vinegar overload, I will try it again and reduce the vinegar to like a 1/4 cup

I made this as my first ever Cabbage meal and it was GREAT!!! I cooked the bacon in a cake pan in the oven, used high quality bacon. Had only about 1/2 cup of grease from it. used white vinegar with wine i just poured from my glass!!!: My guest just couldn't stop eating it. I left off the mint as I didn't have any on hand, but am sure this would be great too. Added pepper to the top as I forgot to put it in the mix, then topped with bacan. It was just great and I have already recommended it and everyone is asking for the recipe. Thanks Bobby!!!

It tasted good.
Though, it was too much oven work for just a Napa cabbage.
I mean, can't we just cook this in a pot?
I listened "null"'s opinion and reduced the red wine vinegar way down and it worked fine.

When I made this the vinegar really overwhelmed the recipe and made my whole apartment stink. The cabbage tasted mostly like vinegar except when you bit into a bacon piece, which was good, but then why not just eat bacon? Maybe I should have used a different red wine vinegar - the one I used wasn't the best in the store, but it certainly wasn't the worst either - or maybe I wasn't using the correct type of cabbage and that made all the difference, but I didn't expect it to come out that badly given all the rave reviews on this website.

As stand alone cabbage dish, pleasant flavor. Estimated calories using turkey bacon 1oz/70 vs bacon 1oz/149; honey 1oz/60; cabbage 1oz/6

This dish went well with Thanksgiving Dinner last year and I am cooking it again to go with basil chicken breasts.
