Kielbasa And Kapusta Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Start by slicing the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Set them aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.

3. 3

   Sauté Onion and Garlic

   In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add Kielbasa

   Add the sliced kielbasa to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned.

5. 5

   Combine with Sauerkraut

   Stir in the sauerkraut, caraway seeds, black pepper, salt, apple cider vinegar, and water. Mix everything well.

6. 6

   Simmer

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7. 7

   Finish and Serve

   Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it back into the dish before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
