  3. Sauté cabbage with remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally for a few minutes, until cabbage is golden brown.

    We absolutely love this recipe! I make my own beef chorizo sausage and this is a fantastic combination. We like to cook the cabbage separately with the cream, then plate the chorizo next to it. It makes beautiful display...

    This cabbage is so good. I always add some nutmeg to cabbage. Works really well.

    I got a bit scared shredding the cabbage, there was so much! But it cooks right down in the cream and tastes delicious! A new favourite side to leaner meat!

    Gluten-free sausages are the best, or venison.

    Made the cabbage portion of this tonight, and it makes 4 hearty servings. I cut down on the butter and cream (don't deal with dairy fats that well) and subbed in some olive oil and enough cream to give the taste. I also added some dill seed from the garden for extra flavor. Yum yum!

    Great suggestions for adjusting the dish to your personal preferences! Thank you for sharing.

    The Chorizo sausage I get in Florida is wrapped in skin and once that is removed even when cooking the meat falls apart and is very greasy. I noticed your Chorizo sausage in the picture with your cabbage is intact!!! What type did you use???

    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.
