Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sausage?

What can I do if the cabbage is too tough?
If you find your cabbage is tough, try slicing it thinner or cooking it longer in the pot. Adding a bit of vinegar or lemon juice while cooking can also help soften it and enhance the flavor. Remember to taste and adjust seasonings as needed!
