Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.

Variations: For a dairy-free option, substitute the butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter alternative. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce for extra brightness.

Tip: Choose cabbage heads that feel heavy for their size to ensure freshness. If you prefer a milder flavor, rinse the prepared horseradish briefly before adding it to the sauce.

Serving: This dish pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, ham, or as a standalone vegetarian side for holiday meals.
