Stewed Cabbage with Homemade Sausage

This stewed cabbage dish hits a number of flavor notes. There’s beer, fatty sausage, and herbs. This recipe gives you an easy way to create a sausage and incorporate it with delicious and tender cabbage. It’s a great combination and a very centering meal.

If you make your own homemade sausage, you can revise the flavors to your liking. But store-bought sausage would be good here too. This dish could also take some heat if you like spicy things. Add a bit of chili paste, chili oil or chili flakes. And a hint of vinegar in the cabbage would brighten up this dish as well.
