Recipe adapted from Cook's Country magazine.

1 large head green cabbage about 2 1/2 lbs, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow onion quartered and sliced thinly
2 medium size Yukon Gold potatoes about 3/4 lb, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1½ cups chicken broth
5 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 cups sliced smoked kielbasa or andouille sausage optional
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Heat the butter in a large cast iron pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the butter starts to shimmer, add the sliced onion and saute, frequently stirring until just soft, about 3 minutes. If using sausage, add it together with the onion. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir and bring to boil. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook uncovered until all almost all the remaining liquid in the pot has evaporated, stirring gently occasionally, about 12 minutes.
