“Swicy” Cabbage and Kielbasa

Sausage and Cabbage is a go to dish that we have enjoyed for years! But, sometimes you need to spice it up a bit. So, I thought about a sweet and spicy blend of seasonings and made a sauce to coat it all. Since it is sweet and spicy, I am calling it "SWICY'. This hearty, one-pan dish is savory and just the right amount of spicy. It’s quick enough for weeknights but bold enough to feel special. I love that it has all the things I want in a dish-protein, fat, green veggie and a sweet and spicy flavor.

Description

One pan clean-up is appreciated on a weeknight!

Ingredients
  • 5 links kielbasa sausage
  • 1 small head cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (I used jalapeno but use your favorite!)
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar (I used Swerve to cut the sugar content)
Instructions
    Cook your sausage
  1. 1

    I used 5 cased sausages and cut them into one-inch pieces.  I think that if you had bulk Italian sausage, this would work just as well. Cook them fully making sure they have a nice sear on them. Remove the sausage from the pan and reserve on the side.

    2. Make your sauce
  2. 2

    In the same pan, add butter, garlic, onion powder, hot sauce and brown sugar. Stir all ingredients together and come to a simmer.

    3. Cook your cabbage
  3. 3

    Once your sauce is simmering, load in the cabbage.  Add a cover to the dish and let your cabbage sweat down.  It may take a while depending on how much cabbage you are using. Don't overload your pan! As it is cooking, mix the cabbage around for even coating of the sauce. 

    4. Finish it off
  4. 4

    When the cabbage is done, mix your sausage back in.  Cover the pan and let it go for 5 or so more minutes to bring the sausage back up to temp.
