Cabbage and sausage are a truly perfect match, and it’s even better when they’re sautéed together in this cabbage and sausage skillet. First, cook the sausage in the skillet until lightly browned, then remove it and set it aside. In the same skillet, sauté the cabbage with a light touch of sugar and salt until it softens. Then, return the sausage to the skillet with a little butter and stir the ingredients together until the flavors are well combined.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Start by cutting the cabbage in half and removing the core. Cut half into pieces about 1 inch thick. If the cabbage slices are too wide, you can cut the longer slices in half later — Tip: Don’t slice them too thin, or they will cook too fast and get mushy!
Step 2: Cook sausage slices in a large skillet with cooking oil over medium heat. Once cooked, set it aside in a separate dish. If there are a lot of browned bits in the pan (a lot of burnt sausage residue), gently remove them with a paper towel.
Step 3: In the same pan, add a little water to dissolve. Then add the cabbage, a little extra oil if needed (the pan seemed dry), sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook the cabbage over medium-low heat until tender. To speed up the process, you can add a few drops of warm water or broth to the pan.
Step 4: We want the cabbage to be a little crunchy, not completely mushy. Here you can add seasoning salt, Creole or Cajun seasoning, or garlic powder as desired. Reduce the heat, add the butter to the cabbage, and mix until it dissolves completely. Add the cooked sausage back in, cover the pan and simmer for a few more minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if you like
