📝 Ingredients

• 3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• 1 head of cabbage (chopped (see below))
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/3 cup chicken broth (or white wine (but not for keto))
• 2 12-oz packages smoked sausage (kielbasa or another smoked sausage that is low carb)
• 1 tbsp chopped garlic (about 4 cloves)
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• 1 tbsp sugar-free honey (or maple syrup (use regular honey if dish doesn't need to be keto))
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cabbage chunks, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
2. 2Add broth or wine and let cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is almost evaporated. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
3. 3Using the same skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and brown the sausage, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Stir in hot sauce and honey and let cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring often.
4. 4Scoot sausage over to one of the sides of the skillet and add the cabbage to the other side. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan on top of the cabbage, if you want to. Serve the sausage and cabbage skillet by itself or with Dijon mustard on the side.
