Braised Cabbage And Sausage

1. 1

   If sausage other than small links is used, it should be cut into sections, 2 to 3 inches long.

2. 2

   Separate the leaves of the cabbage and wash; do not wipe dry, but shake the leaves lightly, leaving some drops of water clinging to them.

3. 3

   Rub the bottom of a heavy skillet with bacon drippings.

4. 4

   Put in layers of cabbage leaves, the sausages or sausage pieces buried among them.

5. 5

   Close the skillet tightly; cook for 20 to 30 minutes over medium coals. Test the cabbage at the thickest portion for tenderness.

6. 6

   Season with salt and pepper by taste, using only enough to supplement the flavor the cabbage has drawn from the sausage.
