Ingredients
- Sausage (pork or turkey)
- 1 medium green cabbage, chopped
- 1 sliced yellow onion
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 pinch of red pepper flakes
- Fresh thyme or dried oregano
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Start by chopping the cabbage into bite-sized pieces, slice the onion, and mince the garlic.
- Sauté the sausage: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, cooking until browned and cooked through—about 5-7 minutes.
- Add onions and garlic: Toss in the sliced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, around 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate the cabbage: Gradually add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir to combine, letting the cabbage wilt down—this might take about 5-7 minutes.
- Season and simmer: Season your dish with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Pour in a splash of broth. This will help soften the cabbage and create a lovely, sauce-like base.
- Let it cook: Cover the skillet and let it simmer for another 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Garnish and serve: Once everything looks tender and delicious, sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve immediately, perhaps over a bed of rice or alongside crusty bread.
Notes
Always taste and adjust seasoning as you go. You can easily swap out pork sausage for turkey sausage or use chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
