Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 1 head red cabbage
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 medium apples, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Thinly slice the red cabbage into shreds, core removed, and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
Stir in the caraway seeds and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded red cabbage, sliced apples, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and water to the skillet. Mix everything well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The cabbage should become tender and slightly caramelized.
While the cabbage cooks, slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch rounds.
In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the kielbasa slices and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on both sides.
Serve the cooked kielbasa alongside the rohtkohl, either side-by-side or layered on a plate. Enjoy warm as a comforting, flavorful meal.
