Ingredients

• 1 head Green cabbage
• 1 pound Smoked sausage or kielbasa
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cabbage by removing any tough outer leaves, cutting it into quarters, and removing the core. Slice the quarters into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Slice the sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet. Toss to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften and wilt.

Step 6

Stir in the paprika, salt, and black pepper, coating the cabbage evenly with the seasoning. Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.

Step 8

Return the browned sausage to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for 5 additional minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
