Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter use vegan for dairy free or ghee for Whole30
  • 14 oz kielbasa or organic smoked sausage, sliced into ¼" rounds. I use Pederson Farm's brand!
  • 1 small onion chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • ¾ head of cabbage cored and roughly chopped into 1-inch pieces - will yield about 3-4 cups once chopped
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • ½ tsp salt + more to taste
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • splash apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  • Add the sausage pieces in a single layer and let them cook, untouched for 3-4 minutes. Flip / stir and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • To the same pan, add the butter, onion, and cabbage. Saute for 5-7 minutes until the onion is soft and the cabbage is wilted and starting to brown.
  • Add in the garlic and stir for 1 minute. Add the sausage back into the pan along with the salt, pepper, caraway seeds, splash of apple cider vinegar, and dijon, and stir for 1 more minute.
  • Season with more salt, to taste, and enjoy!
