Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 (8-ounce / 227g / 8 oz) package vegetarian sausage links
  • ½ cup (75 g / 2.65 oz) chopped onion
  • 1 (8-ounce / 227g / 8 oz) package shredded cabbage
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Customize Your Flavor: Experiment with different types of vegetarian sausage! Spicy Italian-style links will add a kick, while a bratwurst-style will give it a more traditional, savory flavor.
  • Make It a Meal: Serve with a side of tangy applesauce and crusty bread for dipping, or toss in some cooked pasta or pierogies at the end for a complete one-pan dinner.
  • Brighten It Up: A splash of apple cider vinegar or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice stirred in at the very end will brighten all the flavors and cut through the richness.

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the vegetarian sausage links and cook, turning occasionally, until nicely browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, you can leave them whole or slice them into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) of oil to the same skillet.
  6. Add the chopped onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Stir in the shredded cabbage, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  8. Cover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and wilted, about 10 minutes.
  9. Return the browned sausage to the skillet with the cabbage.
  10. Stir to combine and cook for another minute or two, just until the sausage is heated through.
  11. Serve immediately.
  12. Don't Crowd the Pan: Use a large skillet to ensure the sausage gets a good, crispy brown sear and the cabbage sautés properly rather than steaming.
