Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium, about 2 pounds) green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 2 diced celery stalk
- 4 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 8 ounces, sliced smoked sausage (optional, for non-vegan version)
- 0.5 cup vegetable stock
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into thin strips and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery to the skillet. Saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, and oregano. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
If using smoked sausage, add it to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly browned, stirring occasionally.
Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet in batches, stirring to combine with the other vegetables after each addition. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the cabbage to wilt slightly.
Pour the vegetable stock and hot sauce over the mixture. Stir well, cover the skillet with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your Creole Sauteed Cabbage!
