Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large, diced yellow onion
- 1 large, diced green bell pepper
- 2 stalks, chopped celery
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 8 ounces, sliced andouille sausage
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks, sliced (for garnish) green onions
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, core it, and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and andouille sausage slices. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sausage to brown slightly and release its flavor.
Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes over the vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the spices.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet in batches if necessary, stirring to combine it with the other ingredients as it begins to wilt.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (including their juice) and chicken broth. Stir well to ensure the mixture is evenly combined.
Season with salt and black pepper, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.
Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
Serve the Cajun Cabbage warm, garnished with sliced green onions as desired. Enjoy!
