Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links kielbasa sausage
- 2 cups sauerkraut
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup dry white wine (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Slice the yellow onion into thin strips and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, caraway seeds, and brown sugar, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sauerkraut to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic. If using, pour in the dry white wine and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 3-4 minutes.
Season the sauerkraut mixture with salt and black pepper, then reduce the heat to low to keep warm.
While the sauerkraut mixture is cooking, place the kielbasa links on the preheated grill. Grill them for 4-5 minutes per side until they are evenly browned and heated through.
Remove the grilled kielbasa from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.
To serve, spoon the sauerkraut and onion mixture onto a platter or individual plates, then top with the grilled kielbasa. Serve immediately and enjoy!
