We are getting ready to make cabbage and kielbasa. We cut it into wedges, butter them up really good, and then put in the kielbasa. Oh, and add a little water to the bottom of the dish, cover and bake it in the oven until the cabbage is tender. Lip smackin' good stuff, for sure!
I do a sweet and sour red cabbage with andouille that is killer!
JD’s SWEET AND SOUR RED CABBAGE WITH SAUSAGE
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large salad onions, coarse diced
2 large elephant garlic cloves, diced
1 head red cabbage, shredded
2 Granny Smith apples, diced
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup water
1 tsp. granulated sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 bay leaves
2 tsp. sweet basil
1 pound Cajun andouille or kielbasa, cut into 3/8” thick wafers
Salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the oil over medium heat in a large soup pot. Sauté the onions until they become translucent. Mix in the shredded cabbage, apples, and garlic. Stir them frequently and cook about 5 minutes or until the cabbage begins to soften.
Concurrently, mix in the vinegar and sugar together until the sugar dissolves. Add the water, bay leaves and basil. Pour the mixture into the pot with the cabbage mixture and add the sausage. Blend thoroughly; reduce the heat to medium-low, and place a lid on the pot. Cook an additional 30 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Salt and pepper to taste and serve.
