Description
A delicious kielbasa dish served with flavorful sauerkraut.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup thinly sliced onion
- 14–16 ounces kielbasa
- 16 ounces sauerkraut (drained and rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or coarse brown mustard)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Set a large skillet (or sauté pan) over medium heat. Add the butter to the pan.
- Once melted, add the sliced onions. Sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes to soften, moving around the pan.
- Meanwhile, cut the kielbasa sausage into 2-inch segments. Unless you plan to serve them on hoagie rolls – then leave them in long sections the length of the buns!
- Once the onions are softening and slightly brown around the edges, push them over to make room for the kielbasa.
- Add the sausage segments and make sure each piece is directly touching the bottom of the skillet. Sear the kielbasa segments, turning every minute, for 4-5 minutes. Continue stirring the onions as they brown.
- Add the drained sauerkraut, Dijon mustard, honey, and crushed red pepper. Toss and stir to incorporate all the flavors into the sauerkraut.
- If needed, add 1-3 tablespoons of water to help the ingredients mix in smoothly.
- Continue to stir for 2-3 minutes until the sauerkraut is well seasoned and warmed through.
- Then sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- This dish can be served as a main course or as a side dish. Adjust the amount of honey or sugar according to your taste preference.
