2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
4. Add green cabbage, purple cabbage, and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 7–8 minutes until vegetables begin to caramelize.
5. Return the sausage to the skillet and season with salt and pepper.
6. Stir everything together and cook for another 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
7. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
Notes

Use turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed to keep everything crisp.
