Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share a versatile and delicious recipe featuring cabbage, eggs, and sausage. This dish is perfect for dinner, lunch, or even as a hearty snack. It’s quick to prepare, uses simple ingredients, and the result is incredibly flavorful. Let’s dive into the details and get cooking!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 head of cabbage, sliced thinly
- 3 eggs
- Fresh parsley, chopped (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil (for cooking)
- 3 tablespoons tomato sauce
- 3 sausages, sliced
- Mozzarella cheese (to taste)
Instructions:
1. Preparing the Cabbage: Start by slicing half a head of cabbage into thin strips. Cabbage is not only nutritious but also adds a lovely crunch and texture to this dish.
2. Beating the Eggs: In a bowl, crack open three eggs and beat them with a fork until they are well combined. Eggs act as a binding agent and add richness to the dish.
3. Combining Cabbage and Eggs: Place the sliced cabbage on a large platter or mixing bowl. Pour the beaten eggs over the cabbage. Use a spoon or your hands to mix well, ensuring the cabbage is evenly coated with the eggs.
4. Seasoning: Add chopped fresh parsley, one teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper to the cabbage mixture. Mix well to distribute the seasoning throughout the cabbage. The parsley adds a fresh, herbaceous note that complements the cabbage perfectly.
5. Cooking the Cabbage Mixture: Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Spread the oil evenly with a brush to coat the bottom of the pan. Pour the cabbage mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly.
6. Cooking Time: Cover the pan with a lid and let the cabbage mixture cook for about 15 minutes. This allows the eggs to set and the cabbage to soften slightly.
7. Flipping the Cabbage: After 15 minutes, use a plate to help flip the cabbage mixture. This can be done by placing a plate over the pan, flipping the pan over, and then sliding the mixture back into the pan. Before returning the mixture to the pan, add another drizzle of olive oil.
8. Adding Tomato Sauce and Sausage: Spread three tablespoons of tomato sauce over the top of the cooked cabbage mixture. This adds a tangy and slightly sweet flavor. Next, slice three sausages into thin pieces and distribute them evenly over the top.
9. Topping with Mozzarella: Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the entire mixture. Feel free to add as much cheese as you like – the more, the better!
10. Final Cooking: Cover the pan again and let it cook for another 10 minutes. This allows the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld together.
11. Garnishing and Serving: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the lid and sprinkle additional fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and flavor. Serve the dish hot and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
Tips and Variations:
- Add More Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to the cabbage mixture for added nutrition and flavor.
- Change the Cheese: If you prefer, you can use other types of cheese like cheddar, Gouda, or even a spicy pepper jack.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce if you like a bit of heat.
- Different Sausages: You can use any type of sausage you prefer, such as chicken sausage, spicy Italian sausage, or even a plant-based sausage for a vegetarian option.
Why This Recipe Stands Out:
This cabbage and sausage skillet is a fantastic way to use up ingredients you likely already have at home. It’s incredibly versatile and can be adapted to suit your taste preferences. The combination of tender cabbage, savory sausage, and melted mozzarella cheese creates a dish that is comforting and satisfying. Plus, it’s quick to prepare, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
