Note: First, you need to get your sausage from St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Levelland TX. They make it for an annual fund raiser, and it is great. If you do not have access to St. Michael’s, pick your sausage of choice. I recommend a good smoked german sausage.
Serves about 4, depending on how hungry you are, easy to increase ingredients
1 lb. sausage, grilled
This adds an interesting ambiance to the flavor of the dish; if you are not into grilling, cut the sausage into medallions and cook with the onion and garlic. If grilling, cut the grilled sausage into medallions and add with the cabbage to heat up.
½ head cabbage, scale up as needed, cut as if you were making coleslaw
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon white wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
4 slices hickory smoked bacon, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Sausage prepared as noted above
- Fry bacon in large frying pan on medium high until it approaches crisp
- Saute onion with bacon (if not grilling, add sausage here)
- Reduce heat to medium and add garlic after onion begins to clear (garlic will easily burn)
- Deglaze with white wine
- Add cabbage and sausage (if sausage is grilled)
- Stir to thoroughly mix
- Cover and reduce heat to low and let cabbage cook
- When the mixture has melded, add the balsamic vinegar, stir and serve
