Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into quarters, then slice into thin shreds. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the kielbasa slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the same pan. Once melted, add the sliced onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, paprika, and caraway seeds, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and toss to coat it with the onion and spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the cabbage to soften slightly.
Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.
Return the browned kielbasa slices to the pan, nestling them into the cabbage. Cover the skillet and let it cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
