Fried Cabbage and Sausage

Use any sausage you like in this dish. We use smoked sausage and love it!

You can also use red cabbage, but we highly recommend green cabbage. Cut the cabbage yourself into slightly thicker slices. Shredded cabbage will cook down to almost nothing.

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the onion, and saute until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another minute. Pour in the red wine vinegar and stir and scrape the pan.

Add the sliced sausage and saute until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the cabbage, remaining butter, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and coat with the butter and seasonings.

Cook until the cabbage is tender and slightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
