Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced thin Note 1
  • 1 medium shallot, peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 4 cups cabbage, sliced thin, 1 head, about 2 pounds Note 2
  • 2 carrots, shredded
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • chopped fresh thyme, optional garnish

Instructions

  • In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add 1 Tablespoon olive oil.
  • Place the sliced sausage in the pan, saute about 5 minutes to lightly brown the sausage. Remove sausage, set aside.
  • Add the remaining Tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Stir in the shallots and saute for 3 minutes to soften the shallots. Stir in the garlic and dried thyme, stir about 1 minute to blend flavors.
  • Blend in the cabbage and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally about 10-13 minutes, to soften the cabbage.
  • Stir in the shredded carrots and cooked sausage, saute another minute to blend flavors.
