How to cook deliciously - Italian Sausage and Cabbage Stew

1. Stage

Cook the sausage: Heat the olive oil on medium low heat in a large (8-quart), thick-bottomed pot. Add the sausage, breaking it up into pieces as you put it into the pot in a single layer. When the sausage has cooked on all sides (still pink in the center), remove it with a slotted spoon and set aside.

2. Stage

Sauté onions and garlic: Add the minced onion (save the sliced onion for later) and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often. Once the onions give up some of their water, use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

3. Stage

Add wine, beans, boil, and lower heat to simmer: Add the white wine and the beans and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. If you want, for a thicker base, use an immersion blender to blend some (or all) of the beans and onions.

4. Stage

Add water, stock, salt, cabbage, sliced onion, bay leaves, sausage, then simmer: Add the water, stock, salt, cabbage, sliced onion half, bay leaves, and sausage. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, then uncover and continue cooking until the cabbage is tender, about another 10 to 20 minutes. To serve, sprinkle on chopped parsley and grated cheese. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
