Ingredients
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 head cabbage, shredded
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Heat the Sausage. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Soften the Onions. Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion to the skillet. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Caraway Seeds. Add the minced garlic and caraway seeds to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add Cabbage. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and cook until it starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Return Sausage and Add Liquid. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and add the apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Simmer and Serve. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the skillet, covered, for 15-20 minutes, until the cabbage is tender. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or thyme, if desired.
Notes
- Storage tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- Make ahead: Prepare the skillet up to a day in advance, but do not cook the cabbage until just before serving.
- Substitution: Swap the smoked sausage for andouille or kielbasa sausage for a different flavor.
- Pro tip: Use a cast-iron skillet for the best results, as it retains heat well and can be used at high temperatures.
