Unveil the Rich Delights of German Cuisine: Irresistible Sausage and Cabbage Recipe!

I was trying not to go to the grocery store the other day.  I only had fresh cabbage and then a lot of canned stuff.  I have to admit that I am spoiled to fresh veggies.

German Sausage And Cabbage Recipe

So, I found 3 jalepeno and cheese, and some German style sausages in the freezer.  I don’t remember when I put them there (yikes) but I had an idea that it was in November or December. 

I decided to cook one to see how it tasted before I added them all to the recipe. 

They were awesome!

Let’s get to it:

Ingredients

• 1/2 head cabbage
• 3 small potatoes
• 1/3 jalepeno
• 1/3 onion (I used some I had frozen…so about 1/2 cup)
• 3 German sausages (these were not long ones but the kind that is the length of a hot dog and fatter)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• salt and pepper to taste
• Frank’s Hot Sauce

Instructions:

Saute the onions and jalapenos in the olive oil.  Since my onions were frozen when I threw them in pan, they took a while and produced more liquid.  So I used that to help cook the cabbage.

So, after the jalepenos and cabbage were tender, I added the garlic cloves and cooked for 1 minute.  Then, I added the sausages and cooked them until they were browned.

I removed the sausages and added the cabbage, covered the pans and simmered for about 25 minutes.

I sliced up the sausage and threw it back in the pan and let it stew in the cabbage. After chopping the potatoes in bite size pieces, I steamed them In another pan with a steamer basket until tender.

All I did to season them was to sprinkle them with salt and pepper.  These were tasty by themselves because steaming potatoes bring out their flavor but I served the cabbage and sausage over the potatoes.

After it was on the plate, I mixed in some Frank’s Hot Sauce to kick it up a notch. One of my friends stopped by and she had some dinner with us, which was such an unexpected treat. 

At one point, I looked over at my husband and he had beads of sweat on his forehead.  My dad used to say that if it didn’t make you sweat, it wasn’t hot enough.  I guess this was hot enough with the Frank’s Hot Sauce added.  YUM!
