San Crao

Recipe By : GDC
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:30
Categories : Italian Main Meals

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Italian sausage -- hot preferred
1/2 head cabbage -- green
1 large onion -- diced
2 cloves garlic -- minced
1 can Italian tomatoes -- 16 ounces
4 tablespoons olive oil
pepper and salt -- to taste

In a large, heavy boiler saute onion and garlic until onions are translucent.
Add the roughly chopped cabbage, mix well, cover and cook over medium heat
until the cabbage is wilted. Be careful not to burn the cabbage or the onions!
Add all of the tomatoes from the can, without the juice. There is no need to
break them up. Cut the Italian sausage into bite size pieces and add to the
pot. Pepper and salt to taste. Simmer on low for 1 1/2 hours, stirring
occasionally. There is usually plenty of liquid from the cabbage but if not
add some of the juice from the canned tomatoes. Should there be too much
liquid, tip the lid for the last half hour to let some evaporate.

It can be served by itself as a main or side dish but I prefer to serve it as a
sauce over penne. It is even better the next day.

NOTES : A simple and delicious, one pot meal. The cabbage tastes like
ambrosia! Savoy cabbage is preferred by some.
