Description
This smoked sausage and cabbage dish is a hearty, comforting meal that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head fresh cabbage
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6–7 ounces smoked sausage (sliced into rounds, andouille recommended)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 1/2 cups broth (chicken, beef, or vegetable)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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.
- Place a Dutch oven or large pot on medium-high heat.
- Add the butter and sliced sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes until both sides are cooked through.
- Add in the garlic and stir.
- 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.
- 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. I like mine really tender, but not mushy. This takes 25-30 minutes. If you like for the cabbage to have some firmness and a bite, you can cook it for 15 minutes. Check in on it often (if it’s your first time making the recipe) and adjust accordingly.
- Open the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Taste repeatedly and adjust as necessary. Serve when cool.
Notes
- This dish can be served as a main course or a side dish.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred tenderness of cabbage.
- Great for meal prep, as leftovers can be stored in the fridge.
