Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 cups sauerkraut
- 15 ounces white beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa into 1/2-inch rounds. Dice the yellow onion, mince the garlic, and peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Stir in the sauerkraut, white beans, chicken broth, and caraway seeds (if using). Season with salt and black pepper.
Return the kielbasa to the skillet and gently mix everything together. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the carrots are tender and the flavors have melded.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh dill. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with additional dill if desired. This dish pairs well with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
