Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 12 oz Andouille Sausage, sliced thinly
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1/2 large Onion, diced
- 1 medium head Cabbage, shredded (8 cups)
- 1 14.5-oz can Diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan or braiser pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and the fat is rendered. Transfer the sausage to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Prepare the pan: Wipe down the pan to remove excess fat, then add the unsalted butter and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Sauté the onions: Add the diced onions to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and starting to brown.
- Cook the cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the pan, cover, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage starts to wilt near the bottom of the pan.
- Wilt the cabbage: Uncover and stir the cabbage well. Cook uncovered for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cabbage is slightly wilted but still crisp-tender.
- Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the drained diced tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, sea salt to taste, and the cooked sausage pieces. Increase the heat to medium-high.
- Final stir fry: Stir fry the mixture for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage is fully wilted and excess liquid has evaporated, blending all the flavors together. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use Andouille sausage for a spicy Cajun flavor, but you can substitute with any smoked sausage or kielbasa.
- Drain diced tomatoes well to prevent excess moisture and sogginess.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning to your heat preference.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure sausage and seasoning contain no gluten additives.
- Serve this dish as a main course or alongside rice or crusty bread for a fuller meal.
- Leftovers store well and can be reheated on stovetop or microwave.
