Sausages with Green Cabbage Mash Recipe

Start by filling a large pot with water and bringing it to a high heat boil. Add the potatoes and cook until they're tender, which should take about 12 minutes.

While the potatoes are cooking, heat a non-stick pan over high heat. Once hot, add a swirl of olive oil, then place the sausages in the pan. Cook them on both sides until they're browned and ready. After they've cooked for about 5 minutes per side, reduce the heat to medium.

In another large pot, fill it with boiling water (from a kettle works well for speed) and bring it back to a boil. Add the cut green cabbage and cook until it's tender, which typically takes 5 to 8 minutes.

Once the cabbage is cooked, drain it and keep it warm. Using the same heat source, place a small pan over high heat. Add a bit of olive oil; when it's hot, add the chopped onion.

Sauté the onion until it's golden, then turn the heat off.

Once the onion is sautéed, add it to the drained cabbage. Season with black pepper and sea salt to taste. When the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly and add them to the cabbage and onion mixture.

Mash everything together with a potato masher until smooth. Season the mash with some freshly grated nutmeg, and adjust with extra black pepper and sea salt to taste.

Put the lid back on the mashed cabbage and potatoes to keep them warm. Once the sausages are cooked through and browned, turn off the heat.

Divide the mash and sausages onto your 2 serving plates and serve immediately.
