Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
- 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 additional large onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by chopping the cabbage, slicing the andouille sausage, and chopping the onions, bell pepper, and broccoli into florets. Mince the garlic.
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onions and bell pepper, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the Cabbage and Broccoli: Add the chopped cabbage and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage starts to wilt and the broccoli is bright green.
- Season and Simmer: Sprinkle the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper over the vegetable mixture. Stir to combine. Pour in the chicken broth and return the sausage to the skillet. Stir everything together.
- Cook Until Tender: Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage and broccoli are tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a main dish or a hearty side.
