Remove the stem from the cabbage and cut the leaves into small pieces.

Boil a large volume of water with a bit of salt and cook the cabbage for about 10 minutes.

While the cabbage cooks, take about 200g of cornbread and chop it roughly, or use a food processor.

Chop the garlic as well.

Once the cabbage is cooked, taste it and drain it.

Heat a skillet and add a generous amount of olive oil.

Start with a cold skillet to avoid burning the garlic, then add the chopped garlic once the oil is heated.

Once the garlic starts to color slightly, add the cooked cabbage and the chopped cornbread to the skillet.

Sauté the mixture for a few minutes, then transfer it to a dish with the sausage.

Prick the alheira sausage to prevent it from bursting during cooking.

Place the sausage in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 15 minutes, turning it halfway through to ensure it browns evenly.
