SWAPS
You can swap out the smoked sausage in this recipe. You can use turkey smoked sausage for a lower fat and higher protein. You could also use chicken sausage. This dish is super versatile, if you are using summer vegetables from your garden, I think zucchini would be great in this too.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
The most time consuming part of this dish is chopping up all the vegetables. Once you have that done this dish comes together really quickly!
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Melt butter in large skillet. Add cabbage, onion, and green pepper and cook on medium high for about 5 minutes stirring to keep from sticking to pan.
Step 2
Add remaining ingredients, cover and simmer for 20 – 25 minutes.
⭐TIP
When buying cabbage select the ones with the greenest leaves on the outside. Dark green leaves mean more flavor. Once you cut a head of cabbage it starts losing its Vitamin C content. This is why it is better to shred cabbage yourself for your recipes instead of buying it already shredded. Uncut cabbage will keep up to 2 weeks in a perforated plastic bag, once cut, wrap in plastic wrap but use within a few days for best flavor and nutrients.
