Ingredients
- 1 small cabbage
- 3 carrots julienned in 2 ½ inch strips
- 1 large turnip julienned in 2 ½ inch strips
- 1 large rutabaga julienned in 2 ½ inch strips
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 – 3 tbsp finely chopped dill

Instructions
-
Plunge the cabbage whole into boiling water for 1 minute.
-
Rinse under cold water. Remove 6 outer leaves in tact. Set aside.
-
Chiffonade (cut into thin strips) the remainder of the cabbage head.
-
Beginning with the carrots, steam for about 6 minutes. Keep testing to make sure they are not over cooked. You want them to be crisp.
-
Next, steam the rutabaga, then the turnips, and finally the cabbage that will more than likely take only a minute.
-
Toss all the vegetables in a bowl with the butter, lemon juice, and chopped dill.
-
Arrange the whole cabbage leaves on individual plates. Put a large scoop of vegetables onto each leaf. Serve immediately.
