Ingredients
- 2 lbs white cabbage 1 kg
- 4.5 oz bacon or pancetta 125 g, Note 1
- 1 onion 5.5 oz/ 150 g
- 2 cups chicken stock 500 ml, Note 2
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 14 oz sausages smoked/cured, 350 g, (Note 3)
- 1 medium carrot
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt or Kosher
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
- Fresh thyme or parsley optional
Instructions
- Cabbage: Half it and remove the core. Chop the cabbage roughly (1 inch/ 2.5 cm pieces) and place it in the slow cooker.
- Chop bacon and onions.
- Cook bacon for 1-2 minutes in a pan until the fat is rendered. Add the onions and cook, often stirring, for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is softer.
- Slice carrots and grate garlic cloves.
- In the meantime, whisk the tomato paste into the stock. Pour everything into the slow cooker.
- Combine: Slice the sausages, place them on the cabbage, add bacon and onions, carrots, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, brown sugar, sweet and smoked paprika, chili flakes. Mix well.
- Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours. Check that the cabbage is done to your liking and increase the cooking time slightly if you feel it needs more time.
- Adjust the seasoning and sprinkle with fresh thyme or parsley before serving.
Notes
- I prefer pancetta because I can chop in cubes myself or buy it chopped into larger pieces. However, bacon slices are fine. They should be roughly chopped.
- It is preferable to use low sodium stock. Adjust the salt you need accordingly.
- Most of the time, I use kielbasa/cabannosi; they are smoked/cured Polish sausages. However, you can use other kinds of links like chorizo, andouille, and so on.
