Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 links chicken sausage (fully cooked)
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 medium green cabbage
- 1 large Granny Smith apple
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice the chicken sausages into 1/2-inch thick rounds and add them to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
While the sausage cooks, thinly slice the onion, core and thinly slice the cabbage, and core and slice the apple into thin wedges. Mince the garlic.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the cabbage to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the apple slices and minced garlic. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the apples are slightly softened.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add the apple cider vinegar, whole-grain mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together to combine and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve hot as a standalone dish or alongside crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
