How to Make Cabbage With Polish Sausage

Melt butter in a Dutch oven over low heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until a roux forms.
Gradually whisk in water and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
Add sliced Polish sausage, cabbage, salt, pepper, and caraway seeds (if using).
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Serve warm and enjoy!
