Description

A bold, satisfying keto-friendly dish combining pork-free Andouille sausage with creamy cabbage and butter-cream alfredo sauce. Effortless to make and packed with Southern-inspired flavor, this family-friendly recipe is ideal for quick, healthy meals without sacrificing taste or texture.


Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon olive oil
14 ounces pork-free or halal 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)


Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the sliced pork-free Andouille sausage to the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides.
Once browned, transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet, swirl to melt. Cook the onion for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the chopped cabbage and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the cabbage mixture. Add the heavy cream and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and Cajun seasoning, then adjust seasoning and add a splash of heavy cream if needed for a saucier texture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer to serving plates, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.


Notes

Use chicken, shrimp, or tofu as a meat substitute for a non-meat version.
Replace Parmesan with dairy-free alternative for vegan option.
Use olive oil spray instead of oil for reduced fat.
Certified gluten-free Cajun seasoning ensures compliance with keto and gluten-free diets.
Simmer sauce longer for thicker consistency.
