Description

This is a simple stir-fry dish featuring sausage, cabbage, and bell peppers.


Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 head cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup chicken broth


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving a small amount of drippings in the pan.
  3. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the thinly sliced cabbage and minced garlic. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts.
  5. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add the dried thyme and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra flavor, use a mix of sweet and hot Italian sausage.
  • This dish pairs well with rice or noodles.
