Equipment

Method
 

  1. Wash and chop the cabbage into thick pieces. Slice the sausage into even rounds. Cut larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.
  2. Layer the potatoes on the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the sliced sausage on top of the potatoes.
  3. Pile the chopped cabbage over the sausage and potatoes. Sprinkle the onion and minced garlic evenly over the top.
  4. Pour the chicken broth over the mixture. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and flavors are well combined.
  6. Stir gently before serving and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, brown the sausage in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. You can also add carrots, bell peppers, or red pepper flakes for variation. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
