Paleo Family Dinners: Brats and Braised Cabbage


We are still trying to get accustomed to life without bread here.  I think the summer might be especially hard as it is just customary to slap some grilled meat on a bun and call it dinner this time of year.  I saw these brats at the store and they were calling my name so I bought them.  But, how to serve them?  I know it sounds weird but I was also craving cabbage and remembered having tried Nom Nom's suggestion for The World's Best Braised Cabbage.  It really is very good and will be on our menu in the future for sure!  Unfortunately, I didn't have 2 hours to oven braise cabbage.  Instead, I shredded a full head of cabbage in the food processor and grated about 1/2 cup of baby carrots.  I sauteed the cabbage and carrots with butter and coconut oil, 1/2 cup chicken broth and a few shakes of salt (while the broccoli roasted in the oven and hubby perfectly grilled the brats).  Twenty minutes later this is what I had.  Hubby even commented that the cabbage was, "better than a bun"!!! Really?  The kids called the dinner, "Aweteous" (for Awesome and Righteous) and said to put it on the "make again" list (which is the highest compliment in our family).  I love "make again" meals.
