Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and brown the sausages all over. Add the onions and cook until softened. Then tip in the cabbage, sugar, red wine, a pinch of salt and a shake of chilli sauce. Cover the pan and lower the heat. Cook gently for about an hour, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is soft.
  2. For the last few minutes, take the lid off the pan and raise the heat to boil down the juices so they just coat the cabbage. Season. (You can make this a couple of days ahead and reheat it gently before serving.) Pass round soured cream or crème fraîche so everyone can put a splodge on their cabbage.

    OMG this is completely delicious. it is now a firm favourite served with creamy mash and asked for weekly. i cook it for ages and have even put it in the oven. freezes superbly and if you use the bratwurst sausages from lidl they are excellent with it.

    OMG this is amazing. I love the recipie. I use normal size sausages and leave out the sour cream. I make the whole recipie for myself and my husband as our main evening meal and always have left over cabbage for another day (or to freese). You really don't need anything else with the dish as it's very filling. If you did want someting with it I would reccomend a white and sweet potato mash which is a lovely pale orange colour and looks fab with the red. When I served it like this with the mash I had too much red cabbage so I froze some of it, it re-heats really well to use as a vegetable side dish. I also have made the recipie without the sausages as a vegetable side dish.

    this recipe is really yummy, i made it all through winter and the sweetness of the cabbage goes very well with the sour cream (interchangable with creme fraiche or natural yoghurt i think)

    Cut ingredients by half, and cooked this for hubby and I,WOW, I'm deffo doing this again.....lovely supper. My only alteration was I reduced the sugar, as neither of us like it too sweet, turned out perfect...cheap,and filling with some creamy garlic mash spuds. yummmmmmm.
