I grew up reading Laura Ingalls Wilder books and my favorite was always Farmer Boy - probably because it contained so many wonderful descriptions of food. But reading about apples 'n' onions as Almanzo's favorite dish? Yuck, right? Well, maybe as a child I thought it sounded disgusting, but as an adult I think it's delicious. Have you ever sauteed cabbage in butter? It's a revelation - it gets all nutty and mild-tasting - not sulfurous at all. Put it all together with some sliced sausage and this simple, one pot meal makes an easy and nutritious supper. This recipe makes quite a lot and it doesn't reheat very well (the cabbage gets a bit soggy), so feel free to cut it down if you're serving fewer than 4 people.
