This is comforting food at its best, for winter, cozy, rainy days! We all love sausage in our family. And I love cooking with in season veggies! I went to a local farm and stock up on produce and, of course, the star of the show was the cabbage. This vegetable is so versatile, you can do so many different things with it, with different textures. Raw in a salad, cooked in a stew, fermented in sauerkraut. We love all of those! And what a perfect combination with sausage? Right?
How to pick the perfect sausage?
You should be very careful on which sausage you choose for your family. World Health Organization has classified all processed food as potentially carcinogenic. The sausages that I used are fresh handmade sausages containing nothing else other than ground meat, spices and natural casing (be sure it’s natural). No nitrates, no preservatives, no processed oils. Pure happiness on our plate!
Enjoy with no guilt!
