Ingredients
  

  • 800 grams Sausage (Luganica, if your butcher has it)
  • 1 large white cabbage
  • 5 cups light vegetable broth
  • 1 glass dry white wine
  • 1 tbsp white wine venegar
  • salt and pepper
  • 70 grams lard

Instructions
 

  • ....make a light veggi broth if you don't have one ready in the freezer or fridge. IF you haven't the time, don't use industrial or any cube: plane water will also work fine.
  • Slice the lard into small cubes and place in a large pot, metal, over low heat.
  • Slice up the cabbage in realtively fine strips after removing the large center stalk. No guideline here: it depends on personal taste, larger or smaller strips.
  • When the lard has become tranluscent, raise the heat a good bit to medium-high, in goes the cabbage, stir, in goes the wine.
  • Once you can't smell the wine over top any more, in goes the warm broth or water, salt and pepper according to taste and consideration of how salty-spicy the sausage you'll lay in later is.
  • Lower the heat to lowest, the lightest of boils, cover and let cook for an hour.
  • Now lay in the sausage kunks, stir, re-cover and let cook for another hour.
  • That's it. Great with polenta or crusty bread or tater's....
