Notes
- Get a good sear on the sausage – Browning the sausage first adds incredible depth of flavor. Don’t rush it - let it develop a nice golden crust before removing it from the skillet.
- Cut veggies evenly – To ensure everything cooks at the same rate, slice the cabbage and other veggies into uniform pieces. This helps with even tenderness and better texture.
- Don’t skip the cover! – Cover the skillet while cooking to trap moisture, this will help the cabbage soften beautifully without drying out. Remove the foil at the end to allow it to get a little caramelization.
- Use a Staub or cast iron skillet – A high-quality cast iron skillet retains heat well and gives the best flavor development. And it's oven safe. Staub cast iron skillet is what I have and highly recommend, it will last a lifetime.
- Customize it! – Add a pinch of smoked paprika for extra warmth, a splash of apple cider vinegar for a tangy kick, or red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
