Italian Sausage And Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl put the onions, cabbage and garlic. Set aside.
• In a dutch oven, or other large vessel, put the olive oil. Slice the sausages (hot or mild) into bite-size pieces, adding more if you want more meat.
• Heat the oil over high heat, and when hot, add the sausage pieces and stir-fry until well browned.
• Add the ingredients from the mixing bowl, the salt, pepper, vinegar and water.
• Mix well for 2-3 minutes.
• Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If needed, add a bit more water.
• When the cabbage is very tender, remove cover and increase heat to evaporate any excess liquid. Check for salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Place sausages in the bottom of a Dutch oven or casserole with a cover.
• Place cabbage over sausage and add water.
• Dot cabbage with butter, cover and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and butter a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish. If using sausages, remove casings and discard them.
• Place cabbage in boiling water, cover, and let water come back to the boil. Uncover and boil for 3 minutes. Drain cabbage in a colander and run cold water over it to stop cooking.
• Put about 1/3 of the cabbage in buttered dish and cover with 1/2 the meat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with butter. Repeat, ending with a final layer of cabbage, and dot top with butter.
• Cover dish tightly with a layer of parchment paper, then top with a lid or a layer of aluminum foil. Cook for about 2 1/2 hours, until cabbage is soft and sweet, and top is lightly browned. After 2 hours, uncover the dish: if there is a lot of liquid in the bottom, leave uncovered for the rest of the cooking time. If not, re-cover and finish cooking.
