Stovetop Savory Sausage and Cabbage Skillet

Ingredients

- 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
- 1 pound sausage (Italian or smoked, sliced)
- 1 large onion, finely sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

Begin by washing and chopping the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the carrots and onion, and mince the garlic cloves. Slice the sausage into even pieces.

2. Sauté the Sausage:

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage to the skillet, stirring occasionally. Cook for approximately 6 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

3. Cook the Vegetables:

Add the onions and garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant. Add the sliced carrots and chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir the mixture gently to coat the vegetables in the butter and sausage drippings.

4. Simmer the Skillet:

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, ensuring the vegetables are mostly submerged. Cover the skillet with a lid, reducing the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

5. Season the Dish:

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add the apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

6. Final Simmer:

Allow the skillet to continue simmering uncovered for an additional 10 minutes. This will reduce the liquid slightly and deepen the flavors.

7. Serve:

Once the dish is cooked and the vegetables are tender, remove from heat. Serve hot, ensuring each portion has a balanced mix of sausage, cabbage, and carrots.
