Instructions
Slice the kielbasa into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Peel the onions, cut them in half, and slice them thinly into half-moon shapes.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onions to the skillet. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and stir well.

Push the onions to one side of the skillet and add the sliced kielbasa to the other side.
Cook the kielbasa for 4-5 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly, then stir it into the onions.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant.
