Notes
- Browning the sausage thoroughly develops deeper flavor from the crust; don't rush this step.
- Slice vegetables evenly for consistent tenderness and texture throughout the dish.
- Keep the skillet covered during oven cooking to trap moisture and soften cabbage effectively.
- Using an oven-safe cast iron or Staub skillet improves heat retention and flavor.
- Customize seasoning with smoked paprika, apple cider vinegar, or red pepper flakes to suit your preference.
