Sausage, Cabbage, & Apple Skillet
Source: Mom’s Kitchen Handbook
INGREDIENTS
4 raw Italian sausages (about 12 ounces), cut crosswise into thirds
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
6 whole garlic cloves, smashed
1 small head red or green cabbage
2 medium tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Pink Lady
4-6 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
3-4 Tbsp fresh thyme & sage
Salt and fresh black pepper to taste
Favorite mustard to serve on the side
Number of Servings: 4
DIRECTIONS
Set your biggest skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook until there is no pink on the inside, roughly 7-8 minutes
Drop the heat to medium, add the olive oil followed by the onion and a hefty pinch of salt. Sautée the onion, garlic, fresh herbs, and sausages for a few minutes until the onion is tender. Add 3-4 tbsp of apple cider vinegar and stir.
While the onion cooks, cut the cabbage in half through the core, trim out the core and discard. Shred the cabbage like you would for coleslaw. Add it to the skillet with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring regularly.
While the cabbage cooks, cut the apples off the cores in four cuts and cut into thin slices. When the cabbage is nearly tender (about 5 minutes), add the apple and sauté a few more minutes until the apple is tender, but not mushy. One minute before removing from heat, stir in the vinegar & a grainy mustard (optional) and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve with good, crusty bread and your favorite mustard.
