Pan-Fried Sausages with Creamed Green Cabbage

Why This Is Strictly Keto

Pork sausage (choose one with no added sugar or fillers), green cabbage, butter and cream are all low in carbohydrate. The creamed cabbage takes the place of the usual mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

• 1½ lb (680 g) pork sausages, no added sugar or fillers
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 small green cabbage (about 1½ lb / 680 g), cored and shredded
• 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Brown the sausages: Fry the sausages in a large skillet over medium heat for 12–15 minutes, turning, until browned and cooked through. Move to a plate and keep warm.

2. Wilt the cabbage: Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cabbage and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring, until soft and lightly golden.

3. Add the cream: Pour in the cream, season with salt and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened and creamy.

4. Finish and serve: Stir in most of the parsley. Serve the sausages on the creamed cabbage with the remaining parsley on top.

Tips

• Check the sausage label: many contain sugar, breadcrumbs or rusk.
• Shred the cabbage thinly so it softens quickly and absorbs the cream.
• A squeeze of lemon juice brightens the rich sauce.
