Sausage, Cabbage, and Apple Skillet
The onions, cabbage and apples in this dish supply a hefty dose of nourishment: vitamins, antioxidants, flavonoids, fiber. The sausage adds flavor and satiety. And even though sausage tends to be on the more decadent side, this dish still comes in at about 300 calories a serving.
Ingredients
- 4 pre-cooked chicken apple sausages (about 12 ounces), cut crosswise into thirds
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small head red or green cabbage
- 2 medium tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Pink Lady
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- Salt and fresh black pepper to taste
- Favorite mustard to serve on the side
Instructions
-
Set your biggest skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook until they begin to brown.
-
Drop the heat to medium, add the olive oil followed by the onion. Saute the onion and sausages for a few minutes until the onion is tender.
-
While the onion cooks, cut the cabbage in half through the core, trim out the core and discard. Shred the cabbage like you would for coleslaw. Add it to the skillet and cook, stirring regularly.
-
While the cabbage cooks, cut the apples off the cores in four cuts and cut into thin slices. When the cabbage is nearly tender (about 5 minutes), add the apple and sauté a few more minutes until the apple is tender, but not mushy. Remove from heat, stir in the vinegar and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Serve with good, crusty bread and your favorite mustard.
