Get a good, sturdy pan with a tight fitting lid. When trying to figure out the size, take a look a the amount of cabbage you have and go from there.

Add the water to the pan and the olive oil. Heat over high heat.

Add the bratwurst and cover the pan.

Cook for 8 minutes. Most of the liquid should have cooked off, leaving some browning on the pan.

Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

Remove the sausage, slice into coins and set aside.

Reheat the pan with the browned bits over medium high heat until hot.

Add the remaining ½ cup water and deglaze the pan (use a spatula or wooden spoon to scrape off the brown bits).

Add the butter and melt.

Add the cabbage and salt. Mix well and cover.

Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Taste and adjust seasoning. When the cabbage is sweet and soft, you’re ready to go.

When the buttered cabbage is done, add the bratwurst back into the pan. Reheat for a minute and combine.

Serve in bowls and top with the scallion.

Enjoy!
