The first video of “Cooking With FatMat” did not go as planned and I wasn’t able to record the full episode. My apologies. I was able to salvage some of it though, so enjoy the video and try this recipe for yourself! Dutch Oven Italian Sausage, Cabbage, Onions and Apples. Delish!
Dutch Oven – Seared Sausage with Cabbage and Pink Lady Apples
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp. olive oil
6 small sweet Italian sausage links (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
2 Pink Lady apples, halved
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/2 head red cabbage, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 c. fresh apple cider
2 tbsp. fresh cider vinegar
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a plate.
2. Reduce heat to medium and add apples, cut-sides down. Scatter onion and cabbage around apples. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring cabbage and onion occasionally until apples are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Flip apples. Return sausage to skillet, nestling among vegetables. Add cider and vinegar. Simmer, rotating and turning sausages occasionally, until sausages are cooked through and apples are tender 18 to 20 minutes.
