Spicy Sausage and Cabbage

My dad HATES cabbage.  I'm not sure why but he doesn't allow my mom to cook it in his house.  So, I didn't discover I actually like cabbage, a lot, until recently.  I think out of boredom I decided I would try to cook some fried cabbage.  And just as most of my cooking experiements start, I googled fried cabbage.  I looked at several recipes and then had in mind what I was going to do. Turns out, it was tasty.  Mom loved it as much as I did and we eat it regularly at my house when dad doesn't come with her.  

What You'll Need:  

1 head cabbage, remove outer layer and center and thinly slice or shred 

Large pot of water

Generous amount Cajun seasoning (I prefer Tony Chachere's). 

2 Tbsp. Butter

1 package smoked sausage, sliced

1/2 onion, thinly sliced

Pinch of sugar

1/4 tsp. Worchestershire sauce

Louisiana hot sauce, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

1.  Bring large pot of water to rolling boil and add generous amount of Cajun spices (sort of like a crab boil). Toss in shredded cabbage and boil for 2-3 minutes or until cabbage is barely soft.  Drain and sit aside. 

2.  Meanwhile, heat butter over medium high heat, adding sausage and onion.  Cook until sausage is nicely browned and onion is translucent.  

3.  Add drained cabbage to pan.  Add a dash of sugar and any more Cajun spice you think it needs.  Add Worchestershire, hot sauce and black pepper. Toss ingredients together. 

4. Remove from heat.  ENJOY!
