Mustard and sausage lovers, this one’s for you. Smoky kielbasa and charred-but-still-crisp cabbage, all drizzled with a bright mustardy dressing, become a full, bulked-up meal thanks to seasoned small potatoes. When wrapped in a foil packet, they become perfectly tender in just under half an hour on the grill, making them a simple addition to any dinner you’re already lighting a fire for. Don’t be shy about showering on dill at the end—the herb brings some welcome freshness to the plate.

  • Of course I changed it a little. There were only 2 of us so I used wild boar sausage instead of kliebasa. And I couldn’t find savoy cabbage at the farmers market so I used regular cabbage. It was good. But I think the dress needed more acid. Some malt vinegar maybe.
