Cabbage Stew
Quick, Tasty, Filling, and moderately healthy. Great for a winter's meal
Ingredients
- 3 slices Bacon Thick Cut, chopped to 1/2" pieces
- 1/2 ea Yellow Onion Peeled, chopped fine
- 2 ea Carrots Peeled, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic Peeled, minced
- 1 lb Italian Sausage Sweet, decased, crumpled
- 2 tsp Cajun Spice From Drop the Packets (https://www.roguechef.com/?p=3239)
- 1 tsp Salt Kosher
- 32 oz Chicken Stock Good stuff, make your own
- 1 ea Cabbage Large, sliced thinly, minus outer leaves and core.
- 1/2 Link Smoked Kielbasa Sliced to thin coins
Instructions
- Place the bacon in a large stockpot and heat over medium-high
- Cook until bacon renders and begins to take color, about 3 minutes.
- Add the onion, carrots, and garlic and continue cooking until vegetables have softened but are still al dente, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Move the veggies to one side and add the sausages and cajun spice.
- Allow meat to brown on one side for 2 minutes, flip it and continue cooking for 1 minute more.
- Add the bone broth and cover, and bring the soup to a full boil.
- Add the cabbage and replace the cover. Cook for 40 minutes, occasionally stirring until the cabbage has cooked down.
- Taste, Season, and balance flavor.
Notes
Just a couple of notes on this:
One can add one or more large potatos peeled and diced to the vegetable mix.
For a bit of a zing, one can add a couple of jalapenos, seeded and minced with the garlic.
I'll serve this with bread and butter, and side it with my pickled peppers, ( https://www.roguechef.com/?p=1616), using the vinegar to brighten the taste.
