Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Polish sausage (kielbasa)
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the Polish sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and chop into 1-inch pieces. Peel and slice the onion thinly. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Polish sausage slices and cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the onion slices. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped cabbage and carrot slices. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well, then cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and carrots are tender.
Return the browned Polish sausage to the skillet. Mix well and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sausage is warmed through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot as a main dish alongside crusty bread or boiled potatoes.
