Instructions
Brown the Sausage
Heat oil in a large cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage in a single layer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply browned and caramelized. Remove the sausage and set aside.
Cook the Cabbage
In the same skillet with the rendered sausage drippings, add the chopped cabbage and season with salt. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes until the cabbage is tender and some edges are golden and slightly caramelized.
Combine and Finish
Return the browned sausage to the skillet with the cooked cabbage. Add the Dijon mustard and toss everything together to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes until everything is heated through and well coated. Serve directly from the skillet.
