Ingredients
Scale
- ½ tablespoon oil
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage (sliced into ⅓-inch thick rounds)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium red onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 pound green cabbage (about half of a medium head, tough outer leaves and stem removed and cut into 1-inch squares.)
- salt & black pepper (to taste)
- 2 pinches smoked paprika or regular ground paprika (or bbq seasoning if that’s what you have on hand!)
- 1 splash deglazing liquid (beer, white wine, or extra broth.)
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- red pepper flakes and whole grain mustard (to serve (optional))
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Sear the sliced kielbasa until browned and slightly crispy, then set aside.
- Add butter to the skillet and sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until golden-brown. Mix in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Introduce the diced cabbage to the pan and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Deglaze the pan by adding a splash of beer, wine, or broth, scraping up any brown bits. Allow the liquid to evaporate.
- Pour in the chicken broth and cover the skillet. Simmer for 2-8 minutes over medium to medium-low heat.
- Remove the lid, increase the heat, and add the crispy sausage back into the skillet. Stir for 2-3 minutes, then serve hot with red pepper flakes and mustard if desired.
Notes
Feel free to substitute the kielbasa with any sausage of your choice.
For added spice, include more red pepper flakes based on your preference.
