Smothered Cabbage with Smoked Sausage
This recipe for Smothered Cabbage was something I was pointed towards a few years ago when I was inundated with a bountiful cabbage harvest, I didn't invent but we sure do love it.
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 410kcal
Equipment
- 4 Quart Dutch Oven OR any large deep pot
Ingredients
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion chopped
- 1 1/2 pounds smoked sausage sliced, like Hillshire Farms, I used a similar style locally made sausage
- 1 cabbage, chopped 2 1/2 pounds or so
- 1/4 cup water may need more
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 3/4 tsp chili powder use cayenne or chipotle if you like a lot of heat I use ancho for great flavor and mild heat** use more or less to taste
- 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
- 1/2 tsp celery seeds
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- heat the oil in a dutch oven
- cook the onions for about 3-5 minutes
- increase the heat to medium high, add the sausage and let it brown up
- then add half the chopped cabbage, 2 TBSP of water and sprinkle half the seasonings over the top of the cabbage
- stir to loosen any brown crispy bits
- then reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook 5 minutes
- after 5 minutes add the rest of the cabbage and the of the seasoning
- cover and cook about 10 minutes stirring occasionally, if you notice it's getting dry add another 2 TBSP of water, in theory the cabbage should be releasing it's own water and won't need any extra but sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't
- after cooking for 10 minutes, taste for salt and pepper, add as needed and serve while hot
