Description

This Sausage and Cabbage skillet is a healthier take on traditional fried cabbage and sausage! Made with less than ten ingredients and a single skillet, it’s the perfect quick weeknight dinner for any day of the week. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 oz kielbasa smoked sausage, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 large red onion, sliced
  • 1 small to medium green cabbage, cored and sliced (8-10 cups)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat an extra large skillet or braising dish over medium high heat. Once hot add olive oil.
  2. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-6 minutes until browned on each side. Remove from the pan.
  3. Lower the heat to medium low and add in the apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pan, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Turn the heat back to medium high and then add the red onion and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  5. Next, add the sliced cabbage and garlic to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the cabbage begins to cook down in the pan.
  6. Add the sausage back to the pan, along with the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for 2-4 minutest until the cabbage has browned and wilted. It should be tender but still slightly crisp.
  7. Taste and add extra seasoning, if needed, and then serve!
