Polish Sausage, Cabbage & Potato Stew

This dish is perfect for a crisp fall evening, filling the kitchen with its rich, savory aroma!

Ingredients:
1 pound Polish sausage, poached in water and then sliced into diagonal rounds
1 medium green cabbage, chopped
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional, for extra flavor)
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Method:
1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in the cabbage, potatoes, caraway seeds (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften.

2. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

3. Return the browned sausage to the pot and simmer for another 5-10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy this cozy, savory stew with a slice of crusty bread on the side.
