Sautéed Cabbage

Full of tasso, ham hock, and deep southern flavors, Chef Carolyn Shelton put her Zydeco Chop Chop twist on sauteed cabbage! Whether it sits on a pot luck table or is the compliment to dinner, (may we suggest our Smothered Pork Chops) no one will be able to leave the table with out a smile on their face and some southern love in their heart!
