- Fry the chorizo in butter in a skillet over medium heat. Keep warm until serving.
- Shred the cabbage using a food processor, mandolin, or sharp knife.
- Sauté cabbage with remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally for a few minutes, until cabbage is golden brown.

Tip
This amazing meal is delicious as is, but it also pairs perfectly with a green salad. Want even more variety? Go ahead and substitute pastrami, smoked turkey or cold cuts for the chorizo.

It does seem like a lot, doesn't it! I am glad you found a new favorite!
Great suggestions for adjusting the dish to your personal preferences! Thank you for sharing.
You shouldn't need to remove the casing on the chorizo. In the picture above, you can see where the casing was split as the sausage cooked and expanded.
Our recipe allows 6g net carbs for the chorizo, so the remainder is for the creamed cabbage.
