A quick, hearty one-pan Cajun Cabbage Skillet made with tender cabbage, smoky sausage, onions, garlic, and bold Cajun seasoning. It's savory, comforting, and easy enough for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage cored and sliced
- 14 oz smoked sausage sliced into rounds
- 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp butter optional, for richness
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Stir in the garlic, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the sliced cabbage and chicken broth. Toss well to coat, then cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.
- Uncover and continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Stir in the butter if using, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
