Ingredients
  

  • ½ Cabbage
  • 2 Tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 Pinch Salt
  • 1 Pinch Pepper
  • 1 Cup Smoked Sausages

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and let it melt until it starts to caramelize—don't let it burn!
  • Add chopped cabbage and stir to coat in the caramelized sugar.
  • Stir in the sliced smoked sausage.
  • Cover and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has wilted and softened.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.

Notes

  • Thinly slice the cabbage so it cooks faster and more evenly.
  • Let the sugar caramelize but watch closely—burnt sugar turns bitter fast.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for added depth of flavor.
