Description

This delicious cabbage and sausage skillet is a perfect blend of flavors, easy to prepare, and great for the whole family.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head fresh cabbage (Mine weighed about 3 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 67 ounces smoked sausage (Sliced into rounds, I use andouille)
  • 2 cloves garlic (Minced)
  • 1 1/2 cups broth (Chicken, beef, or vegetable is fine; I used chicken)
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the cabbage in half to create 2 portions. Slice the core/stem out of both. Then slice each piece in half. You should have 4 smaller chunks of cabbage. From there, slice each into smaller strips.
  2. Place a Dutch oven or large pot on medium-high heat.
  3. Add the butter and sliced sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes until both sides are cooked through.
  4. Add in the garlic and stir.
  5. Add the sliced cabbage and broth. The cabbage will take up most of the room of the pot. It will wilt down when it cooks.
  6. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15-30 minutes. The cook time will vary based on how tender you like your cabbage. If you like it really tender, cook for 25-30 minutes. For some firmness, cook for 15 minutes. Check frequently if it’s your first time making the recipe.
  7. Open the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Taste repeatedly and adjust as necessary. Serve when cool.

Notes
