Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

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.

SMOKED SAUSAGE AND CABBAGE

Smoked Sausage and Cabbage image

I concocted this recipe while trying to decide how to cook cabbage besides the same ole way. My husband, KT, loved it that I didn't even have to ask him to rate it. He went back for thirds! I used 1/2 cabbage and wished there was more, so next time I'll use whole head. Great flavor w/the sausage grease soaked up in the cabbage. Arteries watch out, here comes some real southern cooking!

Ingredients

Coarse salt and ground pepper
8 ounces spaghetti
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced

Even kids who don't care for vegetable soup may enjoy this one. Very good flavor. Sometimes I use crushed tomatoes with garlic, onion, or basil now that they're available. Turkey smoked sausage is great in this recipe!

Cabbage, Potato and Smoked Sausage Skillet image

It calls for basic simple ingredients, but it tastes wonderful! Somehow all these things together taste much better than by themselves...

Provided by Sandy 0225

Categories One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 large head of cabbage, roughly chopped (or an entire small one)
1 large mild onion, chopped
1 lb smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-inch circles
3 -4 large potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup chicken broth
1 dash seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 dash pepper

Steps:

Heat pan and add onion, smoked sausage, and potatoes. Season with the seasoned salt lightly (because the smoked sausage is salty enough), and add the paprika. Cook and stir over medium heat until potatoes are cooked about halfway through.
Next add the chopped cabbage and 1 cup of chicken broth. Cook, stirring occasionally until cabbage is crisp-tender and most of the liquid evaporates.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cooked smoked sausage. You can find it in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
If you don't have any heavy cream on hand, you can substitute milk or half-and-half.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little bit of heat.
For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the smoked sausage and add an extra cup of vegetables.
Serve this dish with a side of crusty bread or garlic bread for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This cabbage and smoked sausage pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. It's packed with flavor and is sure to become a new favorite. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
