Sweet & Sour Cabbage with Kielbasa
Tangy, sweet, and tender, this Sweet & Sour Cabbage with Kielbasa is the perfect Oktoberfest meal. Made with brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and gluten-free smoked kielbasa!
Ingredients
- 1/2 head large cabbage, washed and chopped roughly
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2-3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2-3 tbsp packed brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 lb. gluten-free smoked kielbasa, fully cooked, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- Freshly chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by washing and chopping your cabbage and onion.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large, lidded skillet over medium heat. The skillet should be large enough to fit all of the cabbage.
- Add the cabbage and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage starts to soften and wilt. Add the salt to help the cooking process. Place a lid on top to trap steam.
- Once soft and slightly caramelized, add the broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape the bits off the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the vinegar, sugar, and garlic powder. Stir to combine. Then, add the sliced sausage.
- Cover and continue to cook until the cabbage is very tender and the sausage is heated through, about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep the bottom from burning. Sugars can burn more quickly than other foods!
- Remove from the heat and top with the chives. Serve hot.
