Ingredients

Finely chopped onion gives this braised cabbage and sausage a little extra flavor.

Cut up sausage into bite sized pieces. My favorite Whole30 brands of sausage are Aidell’s and Teton Waters Ranch.

A drizzle of olive oil helps brown the sausage.

Core and chop cabbage into bite sized pieces. Additionally, see below for how to braise cabbage.

The cabbage is braised in the chicken broth. Use sugar free chicken broth for Whole30.

Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
