Fresh Kielbasa With Sauerkraut Recipes

KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Turn up four edges of a large piece of foil to make a rectangular tray (about 12 by 5 inches) for the sauerkraut; set aside
• On one side of the baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and sprinkle with some salt and pepper; spread the potatoes into an even layer. Place the kielbasa on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving an empty place in the center for the foil tray. Brush the kielbasa with the remaining olive oil. Roast until the kielbasa begins to brown in spots and the potatoes are almost completely tender, about 15 minutes.
• Toss the sauerkraut with the caraway seeds and spread into an even layer in the prepared foil baking tray. Place the foil tray in the center of the baking sheet. Roast until the potatoes are completely tender and browned, the sauerkraut is warmed through and the kielbasa is browned in spots, 15 minutes more. Divide sausage and vegetables between two plates and enjoy.

SLOW COOKER KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT (FRESH KIELBASA)

Steps:

• Place your sauerkraut in a strainer over the sink and let it drain while you prep the other ingredients. *See Notes*
• Add oil to a large pan or directly into your slow cooker if it can go on the stove or has browning capabilities. Sear the kielbasa for about 2 minutes on each side to crisp and brown up. Remove from pan and set aside.**See Notes**
• Add the mushrooms and a little more oil if needed and brown for 5 minutes.
• Add the onion to the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes. Add about 1 teaspoon of fresh cracked pepper, it's about 20 twists for me.
• Add in 1/4 cup of water and the bouillon cube, scrape the bottom of the pot and mix until the bouillon cube is dissolved.
• Use your hand to really squeeze out all the moisture in the kraut, then add it to the pot and mix the kraut and mushroom/onion mixture together.
• Place all of this in your slowcooker and nestle the kielbasa on the top. Cover and cook on low for at least 6 hours.
• Slice the kielbasa into serving size pieces and serve alongside the kraut. Serve with horseradish, rye bread, or pierogi as desired.
