Fried Cabbage with Sausage

We love fried cabbage so much that it is part of our regular menu.  I hope you love it too!

Ingredients:

• 1 Head Purple Cabbage
• 1/2 Yellow Onion
• 1 to 2 Tablespoons chopped garlic
• 1 pkg Smoked Sausage (we prefer Simple Truth)
• Chicken stock
• A few  Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper to Taste
• 2 slices of bacon (optional)

Instructions:

1. Core and chop the cabbage.  Separate the sections.
2. Dice the onion
3. Heat olive oil in a large pan. Saute the onion, garlic, and the bacon for a few minutes.
4. Add the cabbage and toss with the onion, garlic, and bacon.
5. Cook until cabbage starts to soften.
6. Slice sausage and add to the skillet, tossing it with the cabbage mixture.  Cook for a 10 or 15 minutes.
7. Add chicken stock (just enough to cover the bottom of the pan) and cover.  
8. Stir occasionally and cook until desired softness.  (we like ours very soft). Add more chicken stock as needed.
