How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

  3. Chop half a head of green cabbage.

  4. Mix the greens in a large baking dish.

  5. Add 6 cloves of thinly sliced garlic.

  6. Adding some sliced onions plus shiitake mushrooms at this is optional, but highly recommended.

  7. Coat the greens with some olive oil.

  8. Pour ¾ cup chicken stock or broth.

  9. Do it over everything.

  10. Cover the dish with foil.

  11. Cook in the oven till the greens are wilted, about 15 minutes.

  12. Remove foil.

  13. Season with salt and pepper.

  14. Continue to cook in the oven till cabbage is tender, around 20-25 minutes more.

  15. While that cooks, heat a little olive oil in a big pan over medium-high.

  16. Prick four sweet Italian sausages using a fork.

  17. Cook until browned on every side and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
