My mother often served a delicious Polish dish made with cabbage. We always topped ours with a dollop of sour cream and sometimes served this over mashed potatoes. You can make this just using the cabbage, but I add kielbasa or smoked turkey for additional flavour. Delicious.

Directions

  • Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir onions and garlic in hot oil until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Stir cabbage, vinegar, caraway seeds, and sugar with the onion mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until the cabbage is softened, about 15 minutes.

  • Stir sausage, tomatoes, and salsa with the cabbage mixture; season with salt and pepper. Place a cover on the Dutch oven and cook until cabbage is completely tender, 45 to 60 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

If you would like cabbage with a little more bite, add another teaspoon vinegar after it has finished cooking.

Butter can replace the olive oil, if desired.

Try smoked turkey in place of the kielbasa.

Mom's Polish Stewed Cabbage Haiku: "Ate with egg noodles. I used shredded coleslaw mix instead of cabbage." For a time-saver I used a bag of coleslaw mix but did everything else as written although didn't leave mine quite as long as 45 min. in dutch oven only b/c I didn't want the cabbage to turn to moosh. Maybe it was the vinegar and carraway seeds (two things that I haven't used in all of the other cabbage/sausage recipes that I've had from AR) but something about this one didn't appeal to us quite enough to want to make again. Daughter only wanted the buttered egg noodles and the kielbasa and husband didn't lunge at the leftovers the following day so while we're cabbagaholics in almost all its forms it's unlikely we'll make this recipe again.

Just took it to a potluck and it was a real hit! Easy good long term in crock pot seasoning is nice. There are a few variables. I make my own sausage and salsa cabbage heads very in size etc.I have every reason to think they would all be very good. Read More
