Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 medium head cabbage, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat oil and cook onions and sausage: Add olive oil to a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and kielbasa sausage pieces, cooking until the onion is soft and the sausage is slightly browned on both sides, about 10 minutes.
- Add cabbage and butter: Stir in the chopped cabbage and butter. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and tender.
- Season and serve: Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve the fried cabbage and sausage mixture over mashed potatoes or egg noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a spicier variation, add crushed red pepper flakes when cooking the onions and sausage.
- To make the dish healthier, substitute the butter with extra olive oil or a plant-based alternative.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop.
- Using smoked kielbasa adds a depth of flavor, but you can also use other smoked sausages for variation.
