Start by preparing your ingredients: cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and slice it into thin strips. Dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, slice the carrots into thin rounds, and slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausage slices. Cook until they are browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the sliced cabbage, making sure it is evenly distributed in the skillet. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine.
Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the skillet. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Once the cabbage is cooked, add the sausage back into the skillet. Stir in 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and let everything cook together for another 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your savory cabbage and sausage skillet!
