Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Oil
- 14 oz. kielbasa, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Vegetables
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 cups green cabbage, roughly chopped
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
Seasonings and Liquids
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté the kielbasa: Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add the sliced kielbasa and sauté for about 4 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the aromatics: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 7 minutes to soften and develop flavor. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Deglaze and season: Pour in the chicken broth, then add Dijon mustard, brown sugar, hot sauce, and dried parsley. Use a silicone spatula to scrape and clean the bottom and sides of the skillet, lifting any browned bits to enhance the flavor.
- Sauté the vegetables: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the chopped cabbage and julienned carrots to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables reach your desired tenderness.
- Combine and heat through: Return the cooked kielbasa to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for a few minutes until the sausage is heated through.
- Serve: Plate the cabbage and sausage mixture. This dish pairs excellently with mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or your favorite potato side.
