Equipment
- - Large skillet
Ingredients
For the Skillet
- 1 head Cabbage chopped
- 1 lb Sausage Kielbasa or turkey sausage
- 1 medium Onion chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
For the Seasoning
- 1 tsp Salt to taste
- 0.5 tsp Pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp Paprika optional
- 0.5 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes to taste
Optional Add-ins
- 1 cup Bell Peppers sliced
- 1 cup Carrots thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh Herbs such as parsley or thyme
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic. Cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Toss in the sliced sausage, cooking until browned and slightly caramelized, which should take around 5-6 minutes.
- Gradually add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine everything, cooking until cabbage starts to wilt, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle in salt, pepper, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Lower the heat and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- If desired, toss in bell peppers or carrots during the cabbage cooking stage for extra flavors.
- Once everything is well-cooked and seasoned, remove the skillet from heat and serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For easy cleanup, consider lining your skillet with parchment paper.
