Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 12 oz Andouille Sausage (or any sausage you like; sliced thinly)
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1/2 large Onion (diced)
- 1 medium head Cabbage (shredded; 8 cups)
- 1 14.5-oz can Diced tomatoes (drained)
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (to taste)
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan or braiser pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side until browned and fat is rendered. Remove the sausage to a plate and cover to keep warm, leaving the oil in the pan.
- Sauté onion: Wipe down the pan and add the unsalted butter. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the diced onions. Cook for 8-10 minutes until soft and beginning to brown.
- Cook the cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the pan. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage starts to wilt near the bottom. Uncover, stir, and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until the cabbage is slightly wilted but still crisp-tender.
- Combine and season: Add the drained diced tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, sea salt, and cooked sausage back to the pan. Increase heat to medium-high.
- Finish cooking: Stir fry everything together for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage is fully wilted and any excess liquid has evaporated. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute Andouille sausage with any smoked or spicy sausage of your choice.
- Adjust the Cajun seasoning and salt according to your taste preference.
- If you prefer a softer cabbage texture, cook covered for an additional 2-3 minutes before uncovering.
- Serve this dish with crusty bread or over cooked rice for a complete meal.
