Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium head green cabbage, sliced into thin strips
• 2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the sliced smoked sausage to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the cabbage to begin to soften.

Step 6

Sprinkle the paprika, dried thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir to evenly coat.

Step 7

Return the browned sausage to the skillet and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir everything together.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the cabbage and carrots are tender.

Step 9

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing any excess liquid to evaporate.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
