Description

A hearty and comforting dish featuring tender cabbage and flavorful smoked sausage.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head fresh cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 67 ounces smoked sausage (sliced into rounds, andouille recommended)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 1/2 cups broth (chicken, beef, or vegetable)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the cabbage in half to create 2 portions. Slice the core/stem out of both. Then slice each piece in half to yield 4 smaller chunks. From there, slice each into smaller strips.
  2. Place a Dutch oven or large pot on medium-high heat.
  3. Add the butter and sliced sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes until both sides are cooked through.
  4. Add in the garlic and stir.
  5. Add the sliced cabbage and broth. The cabbage will take up most of the room in the pot and will wilt down as it cooks.
  6. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15-30 minutes depending on your preference for tenderness.
  7. Season with salt and pepper. Taste repeatedly and adjust as needed. Serve when cool.

Notes

  • For a really tender cabbage, cook for 25-30 minutes; for a firmer texture, cook for 15 minutes.
  • If this is your first time making the recipe, check in on it often and adjust accordingly.
