SPICY CAJUN CABBAGE



Spicy Cajun Cabbage image

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.

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.

CAJUN CABBAGE SKILLET



Cajun Cabbage Skillet image

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons canola oil
8 ounces chicken andouille sausages, sliced diagonally 1/4-inch thick (about 1 heaping cup)
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 2 scant cups)
Kosher salt
1/2 small head green cabbage, cored, halved crosswise and sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 6 cups)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 small sweet-tart apple such as Gala or McIntosh, cored and sliced 1/8-inch thick (about 3/4 cup)
1 large scallion, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
Hot sauce, for serving

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a firm, compact head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid any heads that are bruised or have signs of wilting.
  • Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the Cajun seasoning.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will allow you to cook the cabbage in a single layer, ensuring that it gets evenly browned.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too much cabbage to the skillet at once, it will steam instead of brown. Cook the cabbage in batches if necessary.
  • Season the cabbage generously: Cajun seasoning is a flavorful blend of spices that will add a kick to the cabbage. Don't be afraid to use a lot of it!
  • Cook the cabbage until it is tender: The cabbage should be tender but still slightly crunchy. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Serve the cabbage immediately: Cajun seasoned cabbage is best served hot. It can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Cajun seasoned cabbage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage, and it can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
