Ingredients
1
medium head cabbage (3 lb), cut into 4 wedges, trimmed, and cored, keeping wedges intact
1/2
lb thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips
1
(10- to 15-oz) package fully cooked chicken sausages (4 or 5 links)
1
large onion (1/2 lb), halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise
Directions
1.
Season cabbage wedges with salt, then steam in a steamer rack set over boiling water, covered, until tender, about 15 minutes.
2.
While cabbage is steaming, cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 12 minutes.
3.
Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate and reserve rendered fat in a small bowl.
4.
Wipe out skillet with a paper towel and return 3 tablespoons bacon fat to skillet. Cut sausages in half lengthwise and cook, cut sides down, over moderately low heat until browned and heated through, about 7 minutes. Transfer sausages with tongs to a plate and keep warm, covered. Add onion to skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 6 minutes. Add sausages and bacon and cook, stirring, until heated through. Add vinegar and remove from heat, then stir in butter.
5.
Serve cabbage wedges topped with sausages, onion, and sauce.
