Ingredients

  • 4 smoked Sausage Links Hempler's Bacon and White Cheddar
  • 1 tbsp. bacon fat
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 1 large shallot minced
  • 4 cabbage wedges green or purple cabbage cut into 2 inch wedges
  • 1 tsp. fennel seed crushed using mortar and pestle
  • 1 tsp. caraway seed crushed using mortar and pestle
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 cup malt vinegar
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Sear sausage links in cast iron pan over medium high heat. Rotating sides until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add bacon fat to hot cast iron pan, then add onion and shallot. Cook until just softened. Add cabbage wedges, placing the entire cut side on pan surface to get a nice sear. After about 2 minutes, carefully flip cabbage wedges. Add malt vinegar, sugar, crushed fennel and caraway seed and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add sausage links back to pan, tucking them in between cabbage wedges. Continuing cooking another few minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes.
