One Pan Cabbage and Sausage

Elena Butuc

We are big fans of cabbage in any form, but these dishes made with baked cabbage seem to me the most brilliant - I started with duck and cabbage, then roasted pork with sauerkraut, with Ham Hocks. Now I want to gloriously show you the best recipe of cabbage with sausages in the oven. It tastes wonderfully, even the children eat without comment and that's a great thing! Cabbage cooked on the stove can't compare with roasted cabbage. Cooked in the oven, it's totally different, it has a much better taste, baked, complete and aromatic. And of course much simpler and faster, Bylena style - less time to cook, yet everyone is full and happy, that's how I like the cooking...

Ingredients

Metric US

●

White cabbage

2 kg

you can combine with chopped sauerkraut

●

Sausages

500 g

●

White onion

2 pieces

●

Tomato paste

3 tbsp

●

Vegetable oil

50 ml

●

Salt

1 tbsp

●

Ground black pepper

0.5 tsp

and other spices to taste and preferences

Step by step

Step 1

Take a large, deep baking tray, chop the cabbage into medium pieces and place it all there.

Step 2

Sprinkle over with 1 tablespoon of salt and crush it a little with your hands, for the cabbage to release some juice and to soften.

If you add pickled cabbage, do it after this procedure.

Step 3

Cut the onion into medium pieces, just like the cabbage - someone who is fussy and doesn't like onion won't even find it in the food, that's how nicely everything fits in.

Step 4

Mix well the tomato paste with the oil and 1 glass of water, then pour over the cabbage in the pan.

Add the onions and ground pepper, plus any other favorite spices, stir well to combine.

Step 5

I used these classic smoked sausages, with natural ingredients.

You can as well use thin, or even fresh sausages!

Step 6

Cut them into medium-thick slices and arrange over the cabbage mixture.

Step 7

Cover the tray with foil, a lid or baking bag and bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees C for 40-45 minutes.

Step 8

During this time, the cabbage and sausages will be steaming, they will release juice and decrease in volume. This was the purpose of the foil coating.

Step 9

Remove the foil, mix well with a spatula and bake in the oven for another 30-40 minutes (without the lid!).

Step 10

The cabbage is ready when the released juice and water have completely evaporated, notice it starts to brown. It's well done and it has a beautiful color. That's the effect of the cooking in the oven - it will never be like this cooked on the stove!
