Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 (12-ounce) package Polska Kielbasa, or other sausage
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 small cabbage, chopped
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)

Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Slice sausages into ½-inch thick discs and arrange in a single layer. Sear for 2 minutes until lightly brown, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds in the reserved oil. Add cabbage and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to wilt slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
Return sausage to the pan and stir everything to combine. Cook another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the cabbage has softened.

Notes

To store: Leftovers will keep well for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. We don't recommend freezing and reheating because the cabbage tends to be soggy and mushy.
To reheat: To reheat, either warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through or microwave for 1-2 minutes until warm.
