Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces smoked sausage links, such as kielbasa or andouille
1 yellow onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon packed light-brown sugar
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, such as Tony Chachere's
1 head green cabbage (3 pounds), cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (12 cups)
3 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Whole-grain mustard, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a large pot or 1 1/2-quart braiser over medium heat. Add sausages and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to pot, along with onion, brown sugar, and Creole seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in half of cabbage and vinegar; season with salt. As mixture begins to reduce in volume, add remaining cabbage; season with salt. Cover and cook, stirring a few times, until cabbage is softened and wilted but still has a slight crunch, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Nestle sausages into cabbage and cook just until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Cut sausages into 1/2-inch-thick pieces; serve with cabbage and mustard, if desired.

What is more comforting than the Southern classic that is cabbage and sausage, nothing at all! This extra filling and hearty dish is so wildly easy to make yet so flavorful and perfect for meal prepping. You can serve this one as a side dish or as a main entree, a simple meal to have in your cozy rotation!

Provided by Quin Liburd

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, sub for bacon grease or duck fat
12 ounces pre-cooked andouille or kielbasa sausage links, sliced into rounds
1 cup chopped yellow onion
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
1 medium-sized head of green cabbage (about 2 lbs), roughly chopped into pieces
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, sub for red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning- I use Tony Chachere's or Slap Ya Mama
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
freshly chopped parsley, for garnish- optional

Steps:

  • In a large deep skillet or dutch oven, heat the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is sizzling, add the sausage rounds into the pan in an even single layer. Cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Then use a utensil to transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the chopped onion into the pan and sauté together until the onion becomes translucent and tender, about 2-3 minutes. Then add in the garlic and stir together along with the onion until the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in the brown sugar and stir together with the onion/garlic until the sugar begins to dissolve.
  • Toss in the chopped cabbage- note: depending on the size of your pan, you may need to add in about half of the cabbage first. Then pour in the vinegar and carefully stir together. Cover the pan with a lid to allow the cabbage to steam through until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Then add in any remaining cabbage, if needed, and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the cooked sausage rounds back into the pan and seasoning the dish with the cajun seasoning, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything together to fully combine. Allow the dish to continue cooking together for another 3-5 minutes and then remove from heat.
  • Taste the cabbage and sausage and adjust seasoning by adding more cajun seasoning, if desired. Serve immediately and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if you'd like. Enjoy!

SOUTHERN FRIED SMOTHERED CABBAGE

I created this recipe because raising a family isn't cheap and cabbage is. To make this a one-dish meal, substitute the bacon with a pound of coined Polish sausage or kielbasa.

Provided by Linda T.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 strips bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces, or more to taste
1 medium head cabbage - cored, cut into eighths, and sliced
2 cups water
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt to taste
1 packet sugar substitute (such as Equal®)

Steps:

  • Heat a large, lidded cast iron pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon and fry until browned but not crispy, about 5 minutes. Quickly add cabbage pieces and water, in that order. Cover the pot with the lid and allow cabbage to steam, about 1 minute. Season with cayenne pepper and salt and boil for 15 minutes.
  • Remove lid and reduce heat to a high simmer. Cook until all liquid has evaporated and cabbage is browning in the bottom of the pot and wilted but not soggy, about 10 minutes more. Scrape the bottom of the pot regularly and turn cabbage to prevent sticking.
