This recipe uses everyday ingredients that are easy to find and work well together for a balanced result.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 14 ounces Andouille sausage, sliced into rounds
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, adjust to taste
• 5 cups green cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste (optional)
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

You can swap ingredients based on what you have. Use chicken, shrimp, or tofu as the main protein. For a healthier option, reduce oil or use olive oil spray. Gluten-free users can choose certified gluten-free sauces. Dairy-free versions work easily by skipping butter or cream-based elements.

1. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2. Add the sliced Andouille sausage to the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides.
3. Once browned, transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet.
5. When the butter has melted, add the chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté the onion for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
6. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
7. Once melted, add the chopped cabbage and stir to coat with the butter.
8. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly over the cabbage mixture and stir to distribute.
9. Cook the cabbage for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.
10. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir to combine with the cabbage mixture.
11. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Allow the mixture to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still has some texture.
12. Remove the lid and add the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted completely and the sauce has thickened.
13. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and gently fold it into the creamy cabbage mixture. Allow everything to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
14. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
15. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.

• Overcooking the protein can make it dry. Cook just until done.
• Skipping seasoning layers leads to bland flavor. Taste as you go.

• Add vegetables like peppers, onions, or broccoli for more texture.
• Make it spicy by adding chili flakes or hot sauce.

• Serve with cauliflower rice.
• Pair with a light salad or roasted vegetables.

Can I make this ahead?

Yes, you can prepare it in advance and store it in the fridge. Reheat before serving.

How do I store leftovers?
