How to Make Kittencal's Sweet And Sour Cabbage And Sausage Tomato Saute

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large electric skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of large Italian sausages (spicy or regular) and brown on all sides. Remove sausages to a plate and set aside. Drain excess oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the pan. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste). Saute for another 4 minutes.
Add 1 medium head of green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 8 cups), 1 green bell pepper, chopped, and 1 (28 ounce) can of undrained stewed tomatoes.
Cover the pan and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
Stir well to combine.
Slice the cooked sausages into 1/2-inch thick pieces and add them back to the pan.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally and adjusting seasonings to taste. Add more brown sugar for extra sweetness or apple cider vinegar for more tanginess.
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve this delicious sauté over cooked rice.
Enjoy!
