Sausage & Cabbage Skillet
Simple and hearty Keto cabbage based dinner with sausages
Servings: 2
Cost: £5
Ingredients
- 4 high-meat content pork sausages approx. 300g total
- 250 g white or savoy cabbage finely sliced
- 1 small white onion about 80g, sliced
- 1 garlic clove finely chopped
- 30 g unsalted butter or use lard for extra richness
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tsp mustard or 1 tsp cider vinegar for brightness
Instructions
Prepare ingredients:
- Slice the cabbage finely. Peel and slice the onion. Chop the garlic.
Cook the sausages:
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
Sauté the vegetables:
- In the same pan, add the butter. Once melted, add the onion and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add the sliced cabbage and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted and starting to caramelise.
Combine and finish:
- Slice the cooked sausages into chunks or rounds. Return them to the pan and toss with the cabbage. Add a bit of pepper and (optionally) a splash of vinegar or mustard. Heat for another 2–3 minutes to meld the flavours.
Serve hot:
- Divide between two plates or bowls. Optional: Top with a drizzle of extra olive oil for added fat.
