Ingredients

  • 3 slices of bacon chopped
  • 4 smoked beef sausages like this
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 medium green cabbage cored and roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Using a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Set aside, reserving the bacon fat in the pan.
  • Add the sausage in a single layer and cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until crisp. Set the cooked sausage and bacon aside, covering with foil to keep them warm. Reserve about 2 tbsp of fat in the pan and set any remaining fat aside.
  • Pour the onion and garlic into the pan and saute for 3-4 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent. Add the coconut sugar and toss to coat the onion and garlic.
  • Pour the cabbage into the pan, add the vinegar, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Toss to allow the cabbage to wilt, then cover with a lid for 3-4 minutes. Remove the lid and toss again, adding more reserved fat if needed. Cover again for another 3 minutes.
  • Once the cabbage is wilted, add the sausage and bacon back to the pan. Toss for about 1-2 minutes to combine.
  • Serve topped with chopped parsley and additional salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

This recipe works well in a cast iron pan and an enamel cast iron pan like this.
