Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice the low sodium chicken sausage into 1/4-inch thick slices and add them to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until they are browned and heated through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
While the sausage is cooking, thinly slice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Meanwhile, core the green cabbage and slice it into thin strips. Peel and grate the carrot.
Add the sliced cabbage and grated carrot to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir well to combine.
Season the vegetables with ground black pepper and caraway seeds.
Pour the water into the skillet, cover, and let the vegetables steam for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.
Return the sausage to the skillet and stir to combine all the ingredients. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until heated through.
