Instructions

  1. Prepare: Chop the cabbage, slice the carrots into thin rounds, and set them aside in a bowl. Finely chop the onions and set them aside separately from the other vegetables. Slice the sausages thickly and set them aside.2.5 lbs white cabbage (1.2 kg), 2 medium carrots, 1 medium onion, 1 lb sausages (450 g)
  2. Fry sausages: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan. Cook the sausage slices on medium-high heat until nicely browned on all sides. Remove them from the pan.
  3. Fry cabbage: Turn the heat down to medium-low, add the onions to the pan, and fry them in the sausage fat for about 5 minutes or until softer (Note 4). Add carrots, cabbage, butter, paprika, thyme, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine and fry the mixture for 5 minutes.2 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon sugar, ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  4. Simmer: Pour in ¾ cup stock (180 ml), bring to a boil, cover, turn the heat down to low, and simmer the cabbage for about 5 minutes or until softer, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add sausages, some salt, and pepper to taste and simmer without the lid for about 5 minutes until the stock is reduced.
  6. Adjust the taste: Stir again and adjust the taste with more salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, and a bit more sugar if required.

Notes

  • Green or sweetheart cabbage is also great.
  • Other sausages: Kielbasa, cabanossi, andouille, chorizo, bratwurst, Frankfurters or Wieners, Italian sausage, etc.
  • The salt you need depends on the saltiness of the stock you use. Start with just a little salt and add more later to taste.
  • Fat: Depending on the sort of sausage you use, there might be much fat or little fat left in the skillet. Chorizo, for instance, will release a lot of fat; if you feel it’s too much, you can scoop some out and only leave about 1-2 tablespoons in the pan. On the other hand, Frankfurters or wieners will not release much fat; in this case, add 1 extra tablespoon of oil to the pan when cooking the onions.
