Braised cabbage with sausages
Description
I suggest making a delicious and very budget-friendly dish that's easy to prepare using minimal ingredients. If you have 2-3 sausages left but 4 people in your family, you probably don't want to leave someone sausage-less, right? Just make this dish—everyone will be satisfied.

Peel the onion and carrot. Cut the onion into half-rings or small cubes, grate the carrot on a coarse grater. Place them in a frying pan with vegetable oil and sauté until almost cooked through. This will take about 10 minutes.

Step 7
Let the cabbage simmer for about 10–15 minutes. If you prefer cabbage without broth, cook it uncovered, stirring occasionally. If you'd like it with broth, cover the pan with a lid. Taste and add salt if needed. You can also add finely chopped fresh herbs. It's ready.
