 add the sausage cook a few minutes

,add the white wine and cook 5 more minutes

,add the cabbage and potatoes and water to barely cover

add salt pepper and the bouquet garni.

cook for about 40 minutes or till the potatoes are cook.( or put in a crock pot on low for about 7 hours or on high for about 4 hours.

notes : if you don't have a bouquet garni just add bay leave, Thyme, rosemary what ever herbs you like. If you don't have any fresh herbs you could add a little bit of "herbes de Provence "or" Italian seasoning". It is about the same thing and you can keep a jar in your kitchen at all time.

I like to have sour cream and mustard with it. and cornichons or pickles
