In this recipe, the cabbage and sausage go perfectly together and even more when you cook them together in a pan. I am a big fan of dishes that are all made in one pot which it’s the case in this recipe. Fewer dishes to wash, more time to do other fun things, this is truly the perfect dinner for a busy night!
Since it’s a simple and rather economical meal, you can double the recipe and have the leftover for your lunch, I guarantee you it’s even better the next day!
To select good quality cabbage, use your sense of sight and touch. The cabbage should be heavy and dense, the leaves should be tight and form a compact “apple.
Whole, the cabbage will keep for a week to 10 days in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator. It’s better to wash and cut it at the last moment because it oxidizes quickly.
Cabbage is one of the lowest-calorie vegetables: it only contains 20 per 100g serving. It’s also very nutritious and economical, which makes it a good food for the body … and the wallet!
