Description

A delightful one-pan meal combining sautéed cabbage and savory sausage with a sweet and tangy maple-Dijon sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium-sized green or Savoy cabbage, shredded
  • 1 pound smoked sausage or bratwurst, sliced
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary), for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients: Start by shredding the cabbage finely, as this helps it wilt and cook evenly. Slice your sausage into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat the pan: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil or a pat of butter.
  3. Brown the sausage: Sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the cabbage: Stir in your shredded cabbage, coating it in the oils and sausage drippings.
  5. Incorporate the flavors: Drizzle in the maple syrup and Dijon mustard, stirring well to combine.
  6. Finish with herbs: When the cabbage is almost done, fold in fresh herbs for aroma.
  7. Serve warm: Enjoy it straight from the skillet, garnished with additional herbs if desired.

Notes

This dish can work with various types of sausages; adjust cooking times accordingly. Leftovers last 3-4 days in the fridge or can be frozen for 2-3 months.
