Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons bacon fat
1 small green cabbage, chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2-3/4 lb smoked sausage, sliced (I like Conecuh, Original)
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained (I like Hunt's Petite Diced)
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon Tony Chachere's Seasoning, to taste (optional)
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Chop/slice the sausage, cabbage, and onion.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, pre-cook the sliced sausage about 3 minutes to render some of the fat out. Remove sausage from skillet and drain on paper towels if needed. Set aside. Wipe the skillet clean.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add cabbage and onion and cook and stir on medium-high for about 5 minutes, until cabbage starts to wilt.
  • Add remaining ingredients, and the sausage.
  • Cover the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Uncover, and finish cooking until cabbage is desired tenderness and most of liquid has been reduced.

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.

SOUTHERN FRIED SMOTHERED CABBAGE



Southern Fried Smothered Cabbage image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Use a firm, green cabbage for the best results. Avoid cabbages that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Season the cabbage well: Be generous with the salt, pepper, and other seasonings. This will help to bring out the flavor of the cabbage.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the cabbage, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the cabbage will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the cabbage until it is tender: The cabbage should be tender, but still have a slight crunch to it. Overcooked cabbage will be mushy.
  • Add the sausage and bacon at the end: This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve the cabbage immediately: Southern fried cabbage is best served hot and fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Southern fried cabbage with sausage and bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. So next time you are looking for a tasty and healthy side dish, give southern fried cabbage a try. You won't be disappointed!
