Ingredients
For the Cabbage and Smoked Sausage Skillet:
350g cabbage, shredded
800ml water
20ml white vinegar (about 1 tablespoon)
3 eggs
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon oregano
2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon dill, chopped
Oil for frying
2-3 smoked sausages, sliced
3-4 tablespoons tomato sauce
100g mozzarella, shredded (about 1 cup)
Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage with 800ml of water and white vinegar. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. This step helps to soften the cabbage and infuse it with a mild tangy flavor. After soaking, drain the cabbage thoroughly to remove excess moisture, and set it aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a separate bowl, beat the 3 eggs with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper. Add oregano, then mix in the chopped green onions and dill. The herbs and spices will infuse the eggs with fresh, aromatic flavors, adding depth to the dish.
Step 3: Cook the Cabbage and Egg Mixture
Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the drained cabbage to the pan and pour the egg mixture over the cabbage. Stir well to combine the cabbage and egg mixture. Cook on low to medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set and the cabbage is tender but not mushy.
