1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice your sausage into half-moon pieces. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic
- Cook Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned and slightly crispy. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving any rendered fat

- Add Cabbage: Incorporate the chopped cabbage into the skillet. Toss well to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-12 minutes, or until the cabbage softens and starts to caramelize
- Combine & Season: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the cabbage. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and heated through
- Serve: Garnish your Easy Sausage and Cabbage Stir Fry with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this amazing sausage and cabbage stir fry!
Notes
Do not overcrowd your skillet when cooking the sausage; brown it in batches if necessary for maximum crispness.
Chop your cabbage into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
Don't be afraid to let the cabbage get a little color; that caramelization adds incredible depth of flavor to your sausage and cabbage stir fry.
Store any leftover Easy Sausage and Cabbage Stir Fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
To reheat, simply warm portions in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through.
