Sweet & Sour Cabbage with Beans & Sausage

March 23, 2012 by Faith 21 Comments

I love cabbage for so many reasons.  Of course for its many health benefits (according to Organic Facts, a few of the health benefits include:  “treatment of constipation, stomach ulcers, headache, excess weight, skin disorders, eczema, jaundice, scurvy, rheumatism, arthritis, gout, eye disorders, heart diseases, ageing, and Alzheimer’s disease”…sounds a little bit like a cure-all doesn’t it?), but I have to admit, also because it holds up so well.  

This week I found a head of cabbage tucked away in the very back corner of my produce drawer that I don’t even remember buying.  It was still as good as the day I bought it! (Now if that had been broccoli or zucchini – a couple of my other favorites – it would have been another story.)  Just one of the million reasons to adore cabbage.  :) 

Sweet & Sour Cabbage with Beans & Sausage 

Serves 4 to 6 

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 lb pre-cooked lean turkey sausage (such as kielbasa), sliced

1 1/2-2 lbs green cabbage, cored and chopped into thin shreds (about 7-8 cups)

2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced

6 tablespoons organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar, lightly packed

2 tablespoons grainy mustard

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground marjoram

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

2 bay leaves

1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

2 tablespoons minced fresh dill (optional; for garnish) 

Heat the butter and oil in a lidded 5-quart pot over medium-high heat; add the sausage and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Transfer the sausage to a bowl and set aside.  Add the cabbage, onion, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, salt, marjoram, black pepper, and bay leaves to the pot and cook until the cabbage starts to soften (about 5 minutes), then turn the heat down to low, cover the pot, and cook until tender (about 30 to 40 minutes), stirring occasionally.  Stir in the sausage and beans, and cook a couple minutes to warm.  Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as desired.  Sprinkle fresh dill on top and serve.

    I like cabbage too, Faith. Eat it at least once a week, but I usually just braise it to caramelize a little. I really like how you’ve put this dish together! Those touches of brown sugar and mustard sound perfect.

    I wish my “finding things at the back of the fridge” experiences were as fabulous as this! Usually they involve some moldy soggy squishy thing. GROSS.

    I love the sweet and sour nature of this dish. Sounds so tasty!

    hehe isn’t it funny when you find random ingredients that you don’t remember buying? I just found a coupler for my piping nozzles and have no memory of buying it but I was glad that I did. Much like you and the cabbage! :)

    This sounds mighty delicious! I too love cabbage for it’s longer shelf life, esp because for some reason, it takes me a long time to use it after buying it. I have one in my fridge right now…and it’s ready for this recipe!

    Often I forget about cabbage, it has that was of migrating to the back of the produce bin.
    This is a lovely delicious cabbage rescue, thanks for the inspiration and sharing such a fantastic dish!

In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography

(Tip: Swap out the colors and they're perfect for any season!) I like to scoop the dough, but you can also roll it out and stamp out the dough with cookie cutters to customize them even more.
 
I used @egglandsbest eggs in this recipe! Compared with ordinary eggs, EB's eggs have 6 times more Vitamin D, more than double the Omega-3s and vitamin B12, and 10 times more vitamin E. How can you tell you are using EB egg? Look for the “EB” stamp right on the shell. 🥚

This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.

If you're craving soup before the weather starts w If you're craving soup before the weather starts warming up where you live, this Butternut Squash Soup is perfect. 💙🧡 It's rich and creamy with warm spices and a touch of brown sugar to bring out the butternut's natural sweetness. And the best part is that it's made in the Instant Pot and only requires 15 minutes of hands-on prep time!
