same manner. Arrange a leaf on each of 4 plates. Cut enough of the
remaining cabbage into 1/8inchthick shreds to measure 2 cups packed
loosely, reserving the rest for another use. In a steamer set over boiling
water arrange in order the carrots, the turnips, the parsnips, and the
shredded cabbage, steam the vegetables, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes, or
until they are just tender, and in a heated bowl toss them with the butter,
the vinegar, the minced dill, and salt and pepper to taste. Mound the
vegetable mixture in the cabbage leaves and garnish it with the dill
sprigs.
