🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces smoked sausage (sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)
• 1 medium onion (sliced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 medium head green cabbage (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
• 2 medium carrots (peeled and thinly sliced)
• 0.25 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat.

2. Add the sliced smoked sausage to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

3. In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. Add the chopped cabbage and sliced carrots to the pan. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic.

6. Pour in the chicken broth, then season with smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to coat the vegetables in the seasonings.

7. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.

8. Return the browned sausage to the pan and stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, uncovered, until the sausage is heated through.

9. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.

10. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving and enjoy hot.
