• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the yellow onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Slice the vegan sausage links into 1/2-inch rounds.

Step 3

Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage if needed and cut it into quarters. Remove the core and thinly slice each quarter into shreds.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced vegan sausage to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until browned on all sides.

Step 7

Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions, garlic, and sausage.

Step 8

Season with smoked paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir to coat the cabbage evenly with the spices.

Step 9

Drizzle the soy sauce over the ingredients in the skillet, then cover the skillet with a lid.

Step 10

Cook covered for about 10-12 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still retains a slight crunch.

Step 11

Stir in the apple cider vinegar and red pepper flakes, adjusting the seasoning if needed.

Step 12

Remove from heat and let the flavors meld for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve the Vegan Savory Cabbage and Sausage Skillet warm, optionally with some crusty bread on the side.
