Homemade Sausage and Cabbage Stir Fry
Finding a meal that hits the table fast without sacrificing depth of flavor is the ultimate win, and this Sausage and Cabbage Stir Fry is exactly that. There is something incredibly satisfying about the way the salty, savory kielbasa sears in the pan, leaving behind golden bits that perfectly season the tender, caramelized ribbons of cabbage.
Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage Kielbasa or Andouille, sliced into rounds
- 1 small head green cabbage approx. 2 lbs, cored and shredded
- 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp salt plus more to taste
- ½ tsp cracked black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy on both sides. Remove sausage from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the sliced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.
- Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage has wilted and starts to turn golden brown.
- Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return the cooked sausage to the pan and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
