Instructions

1. Prep 14 ounces Kroger Chorizo Hardwood Smoked Sausage Pork Link ($3.39) by slicing into coins. Thinly shred 1 pound Red Cabbage ($1.29). Peel 2 medium carrots from the 1 pound bag Fresh Carrots ($1.69) and cut into matchsticks or thin slices. Slice 1 Fresh Green Bell Pepper ($0.79), slice 2 Green Onions ($1.39), and mince 2 cloves from 1 head Garlic ($0.79).
2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced 14 ounces smoked chorizo sausage and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until browned and the edges are crisp. Remove to a plate, leaving a little flavorful fat in the pan.
3. Add the sliced carrots and green bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
4. Add the shredded 1 pound red cabbage in batches, stirring so it wilts evenly. Season with salt and pepper and, if you have pantry staples available, add a splash of soy sauce or vinegar for balance.
5. Return the browned 14 ounces smoked chorizo sausage to the skillet and toss everything together for 2 to 3 more minutes until the cabbage is tender-crisp and the sausage is heated through.
6. Finish with the sliced green onions and serve hot. If you want a starch and have pantry rice or noodles, this stir-fry pairs very well with either.
7. Wine pairing: A fruit-forward Zinfandel matches the smoky sausage and sweet pepper notes, while Riesling can cool the spice and refresh the palate.
