Ingredients for Fried Cabbage with Sausage
Butter or margarine
Cabbage
Green pepper
Onion
Polish sausage (can use smoked sausage), I use Hillshire Farm.
Can of diced tomatoes
Salt
Pepper
Hot sauce, optional
Tips on cabbage: When buying cabbage select the ones with the greenest leaves on the outside. Dark green leaves mean more flavor. Once you cut a head of cabbage it starts losing its Vitamin C content. This is why it is better to shred cabbage yourself for your recipes instead of buying it already shredded. Uncut cabbage will keep up to 2 weeks in a perforated plastic bag, once cut, wrap in plastic wrap but use within a few days for best flavor and nutrients.
Notes: you can easily use turkey smoked sausage or andouille sausage in this recipe.
