Preparation Steps

• Gather all the tools and ingredients to make buttered cabbage and sausage.
• Shred cabbage.
• Split water into two half cup servings.

Cooking Instructions

For the Recipe

• 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.

For the Sausage

• Add one portion of the water to the pan with 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.

For the Buttered Cabbage

• 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.

Bringing it all together

• 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!
