# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • One pan means you can pour yourself a glass of wine while it bakes instead of scrubbing pots.
  • The cabbage gets sweet and caramelized in a way that converts even the skeptics.
  • It tastes like you spent all day cooking, but you barely lifted a finger.
02 -
  • Don't skip the foil in the first stage or your vegetables will dry out before they soften.
  • If your sausages are pre-cooked, add them halfway through the covered baking time so they don't turn rubbery.
  • Make sure the potatoes are cut evenly or some will be mushy while others stay hard, learned that one the hard way.
03 -
  • Use a roasting pan with high sides so the broth doesn't evaporate too quickly and leave you with dry vegetables.
  • If you want extra crispy potatoes, toss them in a bit more oil and spread them out in a single layer before adding the other vegetables.
  • Taste a piece of cabbage before serving, if it's still firm, give it another five minutes uncovered.
