Notes

Feel free to substitute green cabbage with red cabbage for a vibrant twist. For a vegetarian option, try using plant-based sausages or mushrooms. High-quality sausages make a big difference in flavor, so choose ones with natural casings. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for later. Portion out individual servings when freezing for easy reheating.
