Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1 lb. smoked sausage, such as kielbasa, sliced into coins, 1/2" thick
  • 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
  • 8 c. chopped green cabbage (about half of 1 medium cabbage)
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsp. salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 c. chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, optional
  • Grainy mustard and/or sour cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat a large skillet (with a tight fitting lid) over medium-high heat. Heat the olive oil and butter until melted. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon, leaving the oil in the pan and set aside on a plate.

  2. 2

    Add the onion to the skillet and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage, garlic, salt and pepper and cook 8 more minutes until the cabbage is wilted. Return the sausage to the skillet and stir all together. Add the chicken stock. Cover and reduce the heat to medium low. Let cook for 20 minutes. (Do not uncover or stir).

  3. 3

    Stir in the fresh parsley, if using, and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve with grainy mustard or a dollop of sour cream.
