  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound smoked sausage (such as kielbasa, sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups cabbage (coarsely chopped)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the smoked sausage slices and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust.
  2. Keep Sausage Warm: Remove the cooked sausage from the pan and cover it to keep warm while you cook the vegetables.
  3. Sauté Onions: Melt the butter in the same pan. Add the chopped onions and cook for 5 minutes until they are softened and translucent.
  4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Cook Cabbage: Add the coarsely chopped cabbage to the pan. Season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and tender.
  6. Combine Sausage and Cabbage: Return the sausage slices to the pan and cook together with the cabbage for an additional 1 minute to heat through and meld the flavors.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish and serve warm, optionally alongside mashed potatoes and green beans for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute smoked sausage with any smoked or cooked sausage of your choice, such as andouille or bratwurst.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the cabbage.
  • To keep it lower in fat, you can reduce the butter or use a non-stick pan to cut down on added fats.
  • This dish is excellent served with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely on the stovetop or microwave.
