SOUTHERN FRIED CABBAGE WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a large pot or 1 1/2-quart braiser over medium heat. Add sausages and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to pot, along with onion, brown sugar, and Creole seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in half of cabbage and vinegar; season with salt. As mixture begins to reduce in volume, add remaining cabbage; season with salt. Cover and cook, stirring a few times, until cabbage is softened and wilted but still has a slight crunch, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Nestle sausages into cabbage and cook just until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Cut sausages into 1/2-inch-thick pieces; serve with cabbage and mustard, if desired.

SUSAN'S FRIED CABBAGE

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil until hot in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes, cook about 30 seconds.
• 2. Stir in the sliced onion and cook another minute. Stir in a good pinch of salt.
• 3. Start adding the cabbage, about 1/3 at a time. Stir well and let cook down a bit before adding the next part. When all the cabbage has been added and is starting to wilt very well, cover the skillet and turn the heat to low. Allow to steam until done to your liking.
• 4. You can add smoked sausage during the last 5 minutes of steaming if you want to add meat to this dish. Or, you can add 3-4 pre-cooked seasoned chicken breasts, or even meatballs. Or just eat the cabbage by itself!
