Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 head of cabbage chopped (see below)
- salt and pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup chicken broth or white wine (but not for keto)
- 2 oz packages smoked sausage kielbasa or another smoked sausage that is low carb
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic about 4 cloves
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar-free honey or maple syrup (use regular honey if dish doesn't need to be keto)
- 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cabbage chunks, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add broth or wine and let cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is almost evaporated. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Using the same skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and brown the sausage, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Stir in hot sauce and honey and let cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring often.
- Scoot sausage over to one of the sides of the skillet and add the cabbage to the other side. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan on top of the cabbage, if you want to. Serve the sausage and cabbage skillet by itself or with Dijon mustard on the side.

Notes
- How to Cut Cabbage
- Cutting a head of cabbage need not feel like a hard task! Follow these easy steps:
- Make-Ahead and Storage
- To make this dish ahead so it’s ready to quickly heat and eat later, follow the recipe and then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until hot or reheat in the microwave.
- Freeze this keto cabbage and sausage in a zip-top bag or another airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw then reheat as mentioned above. It is indeed one of those easy freezer meals that make your life easier!
- Remove any outer leaves that are damaged.
- Use a large sharp knife to cut the cabbage in half, and then cut each of the halves in half again to make a total of four quarters.
- Cut out the core from each quarter and discard it.
- Place the cabbage on the cutting board with one of the flat sides down and cut it into chunks -- similar to how you'd cut an onion.
