Ingredients

• 1 pound kielbasa sausage
• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.

Step 2

Core and slice the cabbage into thin strips. Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the kielbasa slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the cabbage strips, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together to coat the cabbage evenly with the seasonings.

Step 7

Cook the cabbage mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until the cabbage is tender and lightly caramelized.

Step 8

Return the cooked kielbasa to the skillet, mixing it with the cabbage. Cook for another 3-4 minutes to heat the kielbasa through and allow the flavors to blend.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve warm as a standalone meal or alongside crusty bread for a complete, comforting dinner.
