CAJUN CABBAGE SKILLET
This easy skillet dinner comes together quickly, making it a perfect option for a weeknight. We used spicy andouille sausages to give the dish a little kick, but any type of sausage would work. Cooking at medium-high heat allows the sausage and vegetables to get nice and caramelized in a short amount of time, but if they ever start to overcook, stir in a splash of cold water to cool the pan down.

Steps:
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl the pan to coat evenly. Add the sausage slices in a single layer and cook until browned on the first side, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the second side, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage slices to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the onion, a splash of water and large pinch salt to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, using a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is lightly browned in spots and starting to get tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cabbage, crushed red pepper and another pinch salt and cook until cabbage is crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the pan seems dry at any point, stir in another splash of water.
- Add the garlic and cider vinegar and cook until the vinegar is mostly evaporated, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the butter until melted, then return the sausage to the pan along with the apple and cook until the apple slices are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle with the scallion and serve immediately with hot sauce alongside.

Steps:
- Rinse the dry uncooked brown rice really well with hot tap water for several minutes, then place the rinsed rice in a bowl and cover with hot tap water and allow to soak until ready to use in Step 6.
- Place all the Herb/Spice Ingredients into a small bowl, mix well. Set aside.
- In a large ceramic/enamel lined skillet, Dutch oven, or non-stick skillet, add the diced onions, jalapeno pepper, red and green bell peppers and celery ribs, sauté over medium-high heat for 7 to 9 minutes to soften, then add the finely minced garlic and sauté over medium heat for one minute.
- Next add the shredded cabbage and ¼ cup of water to the skillet, sauté over medium-high heat until the cabbage is wilted and most (if not all the water is gone).
- Drain the rice, shake off any excess water, add the rice and the Herb/Spice Mix to the skillet, stir to coat the cabbage/rice mixture, sauté over medium heat for several minutes to allow the spices to become fragrant.
- Next add all the remaining Base Ingredients, stir well, increase the heat to a boil, then immediately lower to a simmer. Then pressed down everything to create a flattened surface. Simmer (with a very low boil - see notes). Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 20 minutes undisturbed.
- After 20 minutes, stir in the apple cider vinegar, stir everything around once, then flatten down the ingredients again to create an even surface. Continue to cook uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until the rice is tender. The cooking time is largely dependent on the rice selected. To check if the rice is tender, pull up a few rice kernels from the top and test for tenderness. Resist the temptation to stir the rice. If the rice is not tender and there is no liquid left, add a Tablespoon of water and check every 10 minutes or so, repeat the same process until the rice is tender. Brown rice takes longer than most other rice.
- Remove from the stove, allow to set for 10 minutes to marry the flavors, remove and discard the bay leaf, then serve!

CAJUN CABBAGE
We love this dish at our house, and whenever I take it to a potluck, it disappears just as quickly as it does at home. This pleasing recipe was given to me by my sister-in-law from Louisiana. I've made some changes in the ingredients, but the snappy Cajun flavor is still there. It's easy to increase for any number of guests.

SPICY CAJUN CABBAGE
I threw this together one night when I was craving a Cajun chicken pasta dish I used to make. I've missed it since going low-carb. This dish was a perfect substitute! Great texture and a very, very mild vegetable flavor. Mostly just Cajun yumminess! Adjust the spices to your taste.

Steps:
- In large dutch oven add oil for frying and brown the beef and drain it, then return it to the original pan.
- Add onions gr pepper and garlic, cook until onions are transparent.
- Add the cabbage, rice, tomatoes, tomato sauce, water and seasonings.
- Cover and bake at 375 for 50-60 minutes or until cabbage is tender.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender cabbage: Look for heads that are firm and heavy, with tightly packed leaves. Avoid any heads that are wilted, bruised, or have signs of damage.
- Cut the cabbage correctly: To get the best flavor and texture, cut the cabbage into thin, even strips. This will help it cook evenly and absorb the seasonings.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Cajun cabbage is all about the flavor, so don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Some popular options include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
- Cook the cabbage until it is tender: Cajun cabbage should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make the cabbage mushy and bland.
- Serve the cabbage immediately: Cajun cabbage is best served hot, right out of the skillet. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it, but it will lose some of its flavor.
Conclusion:
Cajun cabbage with rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its bold flavors and simple ingredients, this dish is sure to become a family favorite.
