Ingredients

  • 1 lb Irish sausages (or any keto-friendly sausage)
  • 1 small head of cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the sausages: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausages for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the onions and garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil or butter. Sauté the sliced onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  • Cook the cabbage: Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet. Season with smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Slice the sausages: Slice the cooked sausages into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet with the cabbage. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. This dish pairs well with mustard or a keto-friendly sauce for extra flavor.
