Ingredients


Method

  1. While the grill is heating up, split your head of cabbage into thick wedges (4-6 depending on the size of your cabbage) and salt the cabbage leaves.
  2. Once your grill is hot, oil the grates and place the cabbage flat side down over direct heat. Cook until well-charred on each side. Remove to cool slightly.
  3. Once the cabbage is removed, throw your sausages on the grill and heat to your preferred level of charred-ness. If using a skillet, lightly oil and sear to your preferred level of crispness.
  4. While the sausages are getting crispy, use a knife to cut the charred cabbage into ribbons and set aside in a bowl.
  5. When sausages are crisped, place them in a bun and add mustard, sauerkraut, and charred cabbage to your heart’s delight! These backyard bangers are at their most delicious when eaten standing in mowed grass without shoes on.
