Smoked Sausage with Red Cabbage

This is another dish that was made in my family when I was little. My mom used green cabbage mostly but I like using the red. Also I get the red so I can use the outer leaves to dye my yarn!

Ingredients:

1 pound smoked pork sausage, sliced into bite sized pieces

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon garlic

1/8 cup water

1 small head of cabbage chopped into bite size pieces

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

½ cup water

Directions:

In a large frypan place the sausage and olive oil. Cook on medium high heat until the sausage is cooked through. Then remove to a serving dish and keep warm.

Add the garlic to the fry pan and sauté until soft.

Add the 1/8 cup of water and deglaze the pan. Meaning use your spoon or spatula and scrape the bottom of the pan loosening up the bits and pieces that may be stuck.

Add the cabbage, Cajun seasoning and the ½ cup of water to the pan. Stir well.

Cover and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes or until the cabbage is to your liking.

To serve place on serving platter and put the sausage over the top.

Makes 2 to 4 servings
