Kielbasa and Cabbage Skillet

Iris Warren

Report

Kielbasa and Cabbage Skillet combines sliced browned kielbasa with sautéed onions and tender chopped cabbage in a skillet. A tangy mustard vinaigrette prepared separately adds bright flavor when mixed or served alongside. The cabbage is cooked until soft but still retaining some texture, with water added if needed to steam and soften it. This hearty dish balances savory sausage with mild cabbage and a slightly sharp mustard dressing.

Description

The recipe begins by whisking together olive oil, red wine vinegar, stone ground mustard, garlic powder, salt, and freshly cracked pepper to make a mustard vinaigrette. Kielbasa is sliced into medallions and browned in olive oil over medium heat. Diced onions are then added and cooked until translucent. Chopped cabbage strips are introduced next along with salt and pepper. The cabbage is sautéed until tender, with a small amount of water added to help soften the thicker white parts by creating steam. The vibrant vinaigrette can be tossed with the skillet ingredients or used as a dressing when serving. The result is a balanced, savory combination of flavors and textures suitable for a filling one-pan meal.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Prepare the vinaigrette by adding the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper to a bowl or jar. Whisk or shake the jar until the ingredients are combined, then set the vinaigrette aside.
Slice the kielbasa into medallions or half-rounds and add them to a large skillet (12" or larger) or a large, wide-bottomed pot, along with the olive oil. Sauté the sausage over medium heat until the pieces are well browned.
While the sausage is browning, finely dice the onion. Once the sausage has fully browned, add the onions and continue to sauté until the onions are soft and transparent.
While the onions are sautéing, chop the head of cabbage into 2-inch by 1/2-inch wide strips. Add the cabbage to the skillet or pot along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to sauté until the cabbage is tender (check the thickest white pieces for tenderness). To help the cabbage soften, add a few tablespoons of water to create steam within the pot or skillet. Let the water evaporate as you sauté the cabbage.
Once tender, drizzle the mustard vinaigrette over the skillet, starting with just half of the prepared amount. Stir to coat the kielbasa and cabbage in the vinaigrette, taste, and add more if needed. Serve warm.
