Here is an easy Sausage and Cabbage recipe that taste great and will feed a family of four. It also keeps well and is great for leftovers.

I like to make it at least once a month and always on New Year's Day.

What to Buy:

• 1 lb of your favorite link precooked smoked sausage
• 1 head of cabbage
• 1 tablespoon of cooking oil - I use extra virgin olive oil but any will work
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1 pone of buttermilk cornbread - a good recipe!!
• 1 cup of water

Cooking It:

• Place oil in 6 quart stock pot and place over medium high heat
• Cut link sausage in 1/2 inch pieces and add to pot - cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until good and brown - check direction on package - various sausage vendors vary.
• Cut cabbage around core - slice in 2 x 2 inch squares and seperate
• Add water and cabbage to the stock pot and cover - reduce heat to medium low
• Add pepper and salt
• Cook for about 20 minutes or until cabbage is tender - stir about every 5 minutes or so.

The Fun Part:

Now that you have Sausage, Cabbage and Cornbread, just add some black-eyed peas, sliced onions, fresh out of the garden sliced or maybe some fried okra.

Enjoy..
