CABBAGE, SMOKED SAUSAGE AND POTATO STEW

SERVES 4 to 6

This is easy and very good.

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons bacon grease or cooking oil

1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 3/4-inch pieces

2 medium onions, coarsely chopped

4 small potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

1 large head cabbage, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

1 teaspoon caraway seeds

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cups water

Heat a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon grease and sausage. Sauté, turning occasionally, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the onions and sauté another 3 minutes or until golden. Add the potatoes, cabbage, thyme, caraway, salt, pepper and water; stir well. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until the cabbage and potatoes are tender, about one hour. Serve immediately or keep hot on a very low burner.
