Cooking Instructions

step 1

In a 10-inch skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat the Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to glisten and shimmer, carefully add the Irish Banger Sausage (1 lb) and cook, turning occasionally until browned.

step 2

Transfer the sausages to a plate. Into the pan over medium heat, layer in half of the Onion (1), Red Potatoes (1 1/2 cups) and Green Cabbage (1/2 head). Layer the remaining onions, potatoes, and cabbage. Sprinkle with Carrots (3) and Fresh Thyme (1 tsp).

step 3

Pour Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (3/4 cup) over the vegetables, sprinkle with Kosher Salt (1/2 tsp) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp) and cover tightly. Simmer for 10 minutes.

step 4

After the vegetables have cooked for 10 minutes, nestle the sausages into the potato mixture, along with any accumulated juices. Add the remaining Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (3/4 cup) and Fresh Thyme (1 tsp), then cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are very tender.

step 5

Remove the sausages and cut them into chunks. Return the sausages to the pan and serve.
