Salsichas enroladas - Portuguese sausages rolled in cabbage

For my husband's 50th Birthday I asked him what he wanted to have for dinner and he asked me to make this recipe which is one of him favorite from Portugal along with Duck with Rice.
As we are also having some vegetarian family guests I also did a veggie version using the meatless Italian sausages. This is a winner amongst kids too. My tween absolutely loves this one and if there are any leftovers they are divided amongst her and her dad. The little one likes it all but the cabbage. I still always cut the cabbage REAL small and mix it with the rice but she figures out a way to remove every little piece.
