Fresh Cabbage and Sweet Sausage

Okay, one pot, Paula

Pick a friend. Make a new friend. Bam, baby! Oh, my God

Stand back. Get out of the way. Ooh, doggies. Because I told you, it's magical

Thank y'all, thank y'all, thank y'all. You know, in our repertoire, we all have to have a one pot wonder

and this is one of my favorite go-to's when I was raising my boys

because I could do it quick, delicious, and economical. And I'm gonna start, y'all, with four mild Italian sausage

and I'm gonna brown those off. And I can be a bit of a lazy puss

so I'm not gonna peel my potatoes. I'm just gonna quarter them

because, you know, they say that all the nutrients are in the skin

This is a great way. Now, look at those two potatoes. That can feed actually four people

Two potatoes. All right, get back down in there. That sausage was wanting to come out on me

This is a lazy dish, Paula. It is a lazy dish, and I make it especially lazy by not peeling my potatoes

You know, when I make mashed potatoes, y'all, I don't peel them

All right, now I'm just going to shred this cabbage just kind of like so

All right, so I'm going to put a little butter. It going to supply some oils as it cooks but I just going to help it along a little bit How many of y love cabbage I love it And when you cooking it and the family starts coming in they say ooh doggies

Somebody here in the house got an upset stomach? But it show is good

All right, come on, brown, baby brown. How long do you think this will take to cook, Paula

Because by this stage... Well, the recipe calls for cooking this for 30 minutes

I would probably not, I don't like my cabbage gooshy-gooshy, so I probably wouldn't cook the cabbage that long

And I'm going to add a little water to mine and let it cook

but you could also use a nice chicken stock if you've got some chicken stock, you know, just laying around

Now, I'm going to go ahead and put our potatoes in. because, yeah, our potatoes are probably going to take the longest to actually get soft

So I'm going to put that lid on it, and I'm going to see if that will come to a quick brown

And you can see I've got hot sauce up here. I've got vinegar

I've got Dijon mustard, and then I've got a stone ground mustard

That sausage is so good dipped down in that mustard. so it's that quick and easy y'all

we just want to let that brown is that it we're just going to sit around and wait

no we're not going to sit around and wait Gordy because we got magic

going on we're in a magic kitchen when you come to my kitchen

it's like the city of Savannah it turns into magic alright so in our cabbage goes So this is it We going to put I going to add just a little bit of water

not a whole bunch. And then I'm going to add a little salt and pepper

And if you're feeding children, you may want to be a little light on the pepper

and the lid goes on and I'm just gonna keep an eye on that

and we'll let it cook for 20, 25, 30 minutes. Because we live in a magic kitchen

I've got one ready, y'all. I just don't have anybody to share this meal with

Oh, pull someone up. Come on. Come on. Pick a friend. Make a new friend

Make a new friend. You're being so quiet. You know, the quiet ones I usually go after

What's your name? Bambi. Bambi? Get up here, Bambi. I'm Paula

Nice to meet you. So nice to meet you, Bambi. Is that your real name

That's my real name, but I tell everybody it's my stage name. You stay..

Hey, what do you do after dark? That's my secret. Your secret

What does she do? I'm a nurse. Oh, y'all think y'all can fix anybody, don't you

That's my daytime job. Nurses, they think they can fix everybody. That's right

Little cabbage always helps. You can start with me. Well, welcome to Savannah

I hope you love her as much as I do. All right, honey, you come right there

and I going to come right here beside you and you know I can hardly stand it Try it Bambi Eat it I can hardly stand to eat alone honey You know everything is so much better when it shared

Look at those potatoes. Yum. Eat. All right, there's salt and pepper if you need it

All right, I think, you know what? I may take a little stone ground

And vinegar, this vinegar kind of takes the place of your hot sauce

It's just plain vinegar without peppers. Oh, yeah. Is it good, Bambi

This is... It's delicious. You're not just saying that because Paula made it? This is, um... Wonderful

This is a real St. Patrick's Day recipe. And I hear St. Patrick's Day is big in Savannah

Honey! Savannah holds the second largest celebration of St. Patrick's Day here in the U.S.

second only to New York City. Wow. And when they start partying, honey

stand back, get out of the way, or get up on stage
