Cookware

chef's knife · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · stainless steel or cast iron skillet · stirring spoon · tongs

Directions

  1. Prep the vegetables: rinse the cabbage, onions, and garlic, then pat dry. Peel and mince the garlic, trim the ends of the onions, and cut the cabbage into thin shreds.
  2. Brown the sausages in a little oil in a hot skillet until evenly colored and cooked through, then transfer them to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil and cook the onion and garlic until the onion softens and becomes translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste and a splash of water to loosen it; mix until smooth.
  5. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and season with crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the cabbage softens and parts of it begin to brown, 3–4 minutes.
  6. Return the sausage slices to the skillet along with most of the green onions; toss everything together to combine and heat through.

Two tips

  • Prep ahead: chop the onions, garlic, and cabbage and store in the fridge to speed up the weeknight meal.
  • Serving idea: finish with a light sprinkle of crushed red pepper for a little extra kick.
