I love the name of this recipe Mrs. Arend Hof
3 or 4 sliced carrots – I sliced them in ˝ inch
chunks. (I’m sure baby carrots would do nicely)
1 ring of WOUSTRA RING BOLOGNA, the recipe
says, “None other would taste the same”
Sliced potatoes (again I did a ˝ inch chunk), onions,
celery, and the recipe says, any other vegetables you have on hand (suggestions were green or red peppers,
tomatoes) I might try small chunks of corn on the cob.
1 small to medium head of cabbage, cut up or
shredded (I cut out the core and cut mine in wedges)
Put the sliced carrots in the bottom of a Dutch oven
or large pan and add enough water to almost cover. Bring to a gentle boil
while you slice the bologna, potatoes, onions celery and other
vegetables. The recipe says to put in the bologna next, but I added the
potatoes on top of the carrots and lightly salted both the carrots and
potatoes. This not necessary according to Myrna if you are on a salt
restricted diet. Then add the bologna chunks, the onion, celery and any
other vegetables. Put the cabbage on the top, cover, bring to a boil, and
turn down the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes. Norm was late
for dinner and I can testify that it will hold for about 35 minutes. To
serve a put the cabbage wedges on one side of a large platter and the
bologna chunks on the other side with the vegetable mixture in the middle.
It was absolutely delicious. I’m sure you could make any amount to fit
your needs. (Example: we used 2 rings of bologna…we’re carnivores)
Dislike one of the vegetables?..leave it out. A big thanks to Myrna for
sharing this recipe with me and she has a great story to go with it so ask
her about it. I’m running out of room.
