Cabbage has been a staple at the dinner table for so many generations in so many parts of the world. It’s delicious, but also so filling that it easily rounds out any meal. This simple dish combines apples with red cabbage and kielbasa sausage for a tasty dinner on the table with minimal fuss.
The flavors here are inspired by German and Polish dishes with just a hint of ground cloves cooked in with the apple cubes and shredded cabbage. It’s not sweet or overpowering- it’s just right.
For the apples you can use any kind you like, but peel them for the best texture in the finished dish.
Let this simmer for a while to let the flavors meld and to ensure the cabbage is cooked through. This is the other secret ingredient to making this delicious meal.
Once the cabbage is cooked add some kielbasa browned in a skillet for the perfect dinner all ready to go. If you’re looking for a fresh way to enjoy one of the tastiest veggies around then look no further than red cabbage and apples.
