Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Polish sausage
- 4 cups Cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.3333 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice the Polish sausage links into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
Shred the cabbage and carrots, and thinly slice the red onion. Combine them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, prepare the coleslaw dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste, if required.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the sliced sausage and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through. Remove the sausage and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are slightly softened but retain a bit of crunch.
Lower the heat and pour the dressing over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated and the dressing is heated through.
To serve, divide the hot coleslaw onto plates or bowls, and top with the cooked Polish sausage pieces.
Enjoy this comforting Polish-inspired dish with a side of crusty bread or boiled potatoes, if desired.
