1 lb. smoked sausage
1 med. head cabbage, quartered
2 sm. onions
4 med. potatoes
4 med. carrots
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp. caraway seeds
1 bay leaf
1 c. water or beef bouillon
1 tbsp. chopped parsley

Cut smoked sausage into equal portions. Arrange with the cabbage and other vegetables in heavy cooking pan. Sprinkle evenly with minced garlic and caraway seed; add bay leaf and water or bouillon.

Simmer over medium low heat until vegetables are tender (45-60 minutes; this depends upon the size of the vegetables and if they are left whole or quartered).

Serve accompanied with yellow mustard and butter. Yellow mustard is a traditional condiment for boiled dinners (it is an acquired taste!). The garlic is not traditional but adds flavor; the amount may be increased or omitted according to taste.
