Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until smooth. This will be your glaze sauce.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the kielbasa slices in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the glaze sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the browned kielbasa slices to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the glaze. Reduce the heat to low and let everything simmer together for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy on its own, over rice, or alongside roasted vegetables.
