Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups pineapple chunks
- 15 ounces canned white beans
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the kielbasa slices and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until browned. Remove the browned kielbasa from the skillet and set aside.
Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Drain and rinse the canned white beans.
Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to lightly caramelize.
Stir in the pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes, making a flavorful sauce.
Add the white beans and browned kielbasa back into the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until heated through.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
