Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken bratwurst sausage out of the casing
  • 1/2 of large green cabbage
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 tsp coconut sugar
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1/2 red pepper
  • 1/2 orange pepper
  • 1/2 yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1 48 oz container of low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup of fresh chopped parsley
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar optional but highly recommend, it adds a more tangy flavor that pairs so well with the rest of the flavors!

Instructions

  • In a large 8qt dutch oven add in 2 tbsp olive oil. Then chop the 1/2 yellow onion & mince the 3 cloves garlic. Add it into the pot, then sauté for 2-3 minutes, when the onion & garlic starts to brown.
  • Then add in the chicken sausage out of the casing. Once meat is added break apart with a spatula into small pieces & until little to now pink.
  • Then slice the halves of the peppers into thin slices & then cut those slices in half as seen below. Then take the large carrot, peel it & cut into thin circle rounds. Add those veggies into the meet mixture. After, sprinkle the oregano, parsley, 2 tsp salt & pepper onto the veggies & meat.
  • Once you have added in the seasoning, mix the veggies and cook down for 2 more minutes. Then add in the cabbage chopped roughly— like seen below & coconut sugar. Followed by the 1/2 cup cooked rice on top.
  • After pour in the chicken broth, diced roasted tomatoes & tomato sauce. Stir the ingredients, until throughly combined. Then bring to a boil, then cover & turn to a vigorous simmer for 25 minutes. Then take lid off & continue on a low simmer, this will allow it to get thicker & flavors meld. For about an hour or at least 30 minutes. Then stir in the 1/4 cup fresh parsley & let it still simmer for a minute or two. Then serve! We served with a fresh foccata bread made from Basically. Oh my goodness. AMAZING. Enjoy guys!
