Rosemary Braised Red Cabbage with Kabanos Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 small head red cabbage (finely shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional for sweetness)
  • 200 grams kabanos sausage (sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Add Garlic and Cabbage

    Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add the shredded red cabbage.

    Cook until the cabbage starts to wilt.
  3. Pour in Broth

    Add vegetable broth, chopped rosemary, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine.

    This will help to infuse flavors into the cabbage.
  4. Season the Mixture

    Add salt, pepper, and sugar if using. Stir the mixture to evenly distribute the seasonings.

    Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Simmer

    Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    The cabbage should become tender and flavorful.
  6. Cook Kabanos

    In a separate skillet, lightly brown the sliced kabanos sausage over medium heat.

    This adds a nice crisp texture to the sausage.
  7. Combine and Serve

    Once the cabbage is tender, stir in the browned kabanos. Serve warm.

    Garnish with additional rosemary if desired.
