Instructions

1. 1Place a 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 190.6-204.4°C / 190-205°C). Add the 1 tbsp of olive oil to the skillet. Once hot, carefully place the about 450 g Boerewors Sausage into the skillet and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until deeply browned on all sides and an internal temperature of 71°C is reached when measured with a meat thermometer. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
2. 2While the sausage cooks, cut the 1 medium head of cabbage into 1.27 cm wide strips. Peel and dice the 1 medium onion into 0.635 cm pieces.
3. 3In a large (30.48 cm or larger) skillet, cook the 4 slices of bacon over medium heat (approximately 148.9-162.8°C / 150-160°C) for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet with tongs or a slotted spoon, place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, and set aside. Reserve the bacon fat in the skillet.
4. 4Add the diced 1 medium onion to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Cook over medium heat (approximately 148.9-162.8°C / 150-160°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion pieces are translucent and softened.
5. 5Add the 1 medium head of cabbage strips to the skillet with the softened onion. Continue to cook over medium heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage has visibly wilted and reduced in volume.
6. 6Stir in the 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar, 1/4 tsp Salt, and 1/4 tsp Black Pepper until well combined. Reduce the heat to low (approximately 93.33-107.2°C / 95-105°C), cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage is very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
7. 7While the cabbage simmers, crumble the cooked 4 slices of bacon into small pieces. Once the cabbage is tender, remove the lid, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the braised cabbage, and serve immediately alongside the cooked about 450 g Boerewors Sausage.
