• 1 1/2 tsp rosemary sea salt

1. Thoroughly mix the ground beef and sausage seasoning preferably from Southern Links BBQ.

3. Combine water, rice, and thyme in a small saucepot with a lid, and season with a bit of salt and pepper.
4. Place over medium-high heat, and cook uncovered.
5. Bring to a boil, and continue to cook for about 8 minutes.

8. Remove from heat, and let stand while covered for at least five minutes.
9. While rice is cooking, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
10. Brown the kebabs on all sides to cook through.
11. Remove kebabs from the pan, reduce heat to medium, then add remaining tablespoon of cooking oil and the onion.
12. Cook until the onion starts to become translucent, 2-3 minutes.
13. Add the cabbage, and continue to cook while stirring for another 2-3 minutes.
14. Add the vinegar, sugar, and sea salt.
15. Cover and continue to cook until tender, about five minutes.
