Chicken Sausage Skillet with Apples and Cranberries

This is a fantastic recipe I found online in the Paleo recipe section. I did alter it by using chicken sausages that have a little sugar in them. However, if you are entertaining a Paleo diet person, simply find a chicken sausage without sugar. Paleo diet people eat nothing that is refined or that has sugar in it. Or most dairy products. Or most grains. Or potatoes. You would think life lived this way would be really BLAH--but this recipe is good evidence that it can be very tasty indeed! Common Sense Tip: Don't have apple cider vinegar? Rice wine vinegar will do. Yield: 4 servings (at least 2 sausages each)

Ingredients:

2 T olive oil
8 fully cooked apple-chicken sausages 
1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
2 medium red or partially red apples (peeled, quartered and sliced)
4 C shredded cabbage

3/4 C dried cranberries
1 1/2 T apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 T honey plus 1/2 t more if it isn't sweet enough for you
1 t minced fresh thyme (I used dried)
1/2 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
1 T chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Instructions:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned on at least 2 sides. Transfer sausages to a plate and set aside. Wipe out skillet with paper towel to collect all burned particles. Stir in rest of the ingredients except parsley. Cover the skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender (but not mushy) and the liquid is evaporated...about 8-10 minutes. Taste and add additional honey or salt and pepper as needed. Serve with sausage and parsley on top of warm vegies.
