Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces smoked sausage (sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)
• 1 medium onion (sliced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 medium head green cabbage (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
• 2 medium carrots (peeled and thinly sliced)
• 0.25 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced smoked sausage to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped cabbage and sliced carrots to the pan. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, then season with smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to coat the vegetables in the seasonings.

Step 7

Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 8

Return the browned sausage to the pan and stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, uncovered, until the sausage is heated through.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving and enjoy hot.
