Fred Piehl, chef/owner of The Smoking Goat, a French bistro in San Diego's North Park, makes this simple but savory braised cabbage dish for his family's Christmas Eve dinner.
Piehl grew up in Switzerland and his culinary training was at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, but this family recipe is from his Eastern European grandmother.
The Smoking Goat is located at 3408 30th St., San Diego; (619) 955-5295. Learn more on the restaurant's website, thesmokinggoatrestaurant.com.
