What You’ll Need
- 1 medium-sized savoy cabbage
- 4 sausages of your choice
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Start by washing the savoy cabbage thoroughly and removing any damaged outer leaves. Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Slice each quarter into thin strips. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, remove the casings from the sausages and break them up into small pieces. Set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Sausage
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if desired) and cook for about a minute until fragrant.
Add the sausage to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula. This will take approximately 5-7 minutes.
Step 3: Cook the Savoy Cabbage
Once the sausage is cooked, add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to coat the cabbage with the flavors from the sausage and garlic.
Cook the cabbage for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is wilted and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Once the savoy cabbage is cooked to your desired tenderness, remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the dish to a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional) for an extra kick.
This savory dish can be served as a main course with a side of crusty bread or as a side dish for grilled meats. It pairs well with a glass of red wine or a crisp salad.
