Step by Step Method
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Step 2
In a shallow saucepan, melt butter and then sear each side of your sausages until crispy and golden brown.
Step 3
Place a lid on the pan and let them cook while preparing the cabbage leaves.
Step 4
After removing outer leaves from the head of cabbage, blanch each piece by dipping in the boiling salted water using a set of tongs to fish them out.
Step 5
The leaves will turn a bright green and become limp.
Step 6
Once sausages are done, remove from pan and place on a plate allowing them to cool enough so they can be handled.
Step 7
Meanwhile, pour 1 cup of bone broth into the hot pan to deglaze.
Step 8
Be sure to scrape the pan well to release any brown bits stuck to the pan. Add paprika, mustard, salt and pepper.
Step 9
Simmer and stir until thickened.
Step 10
Once the sausages are cool enough to handle, wrap each sausage in 2 overlapping leaves of cabbage tucking the ends (similar to wrapping a burrito).
Step 11
Place back in the same sauce pan, and continue to cook for another 20 minutes covered, adding water as needed.
Step 12
Flip them halfway through so that the sauce coats both sides.
