Cabbage and Sausage Skillet
A hearty and healthy cabbage and sausage recipe with brown rice and a flavorful tomato sauce. A fast and easy one-pan skillet recipe.
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Total: 40 minutes
Servings: 4 –6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 14 ounces smoked, fully-cooked turkey sausage or chicken sausage, sliced into rounds
- ½ head cabbage cut into thin slices
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 ¼ cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 can fire-roasted tomatoes in their juices (15 ounces)
- 1 cup instant brown rice
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for a few minutes on each side, until brown. Remove to a plate, blot with paper towels if needed, and set aside.
- With a paper towel, carefully wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high. Add the cabbage, onion, salt, and pepper and cook until the onion begins to soften and brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of the chicken stock, cover, and reduce the heat. Simmer for 10 minutes, then add the remaining 1/4 cup chicken stock, canned tomatoes in their juices, and rice, stirring well. Bring to a boil, stir again, then cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the reserved sausage slices, mixing well, then re-cover and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes, until most of the remaining liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Serve warm.
