KIELBASA APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Combine the beer, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a large skillet over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally; reduce heat to low and add the kielbasa. Simmer until kielbasa is browned and glazed, about 1 hour.

• Mix red bell pepper and yellow bell pepper into the saucepan, and continue cooking 5 minutes, until peppers are just tender.

PEANUT BUTTER-CHOCOLATE BARK TRIANGLES

Steps:

• Turn large baking sheet upside down. Cover tightly with foil. Mark 12x9-inch rectangle on foil. Stir bittersweet chocolate in medium metal bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water) until mixture is melted and candy thermometer registers 115°F. Remove from over water. Spoon 2 tablespoons melted chocolate into small metal bowl; set aside. Pour remaining melted chocolate onto marked rectangle on foil. Using icing spatula, spread chocolate to fill rectangle. Refrigerate while making peanut butter filling.
• Stir chopped white chocolate and peanut butter constantly in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Mix in chopped nuts. Cool mixture to barely lukewarm, about 10 minutes. Pour over bittersweet chocolate. Working quickly, spread to coat bittersweet chocolate completely. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup chopped brittle. Chill until very firm, about 20 minutes.
• Stir milk chocolate in medium metal bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water) until chocolate is melted and candy thermometer registers 115°F. Remove from over water. Pour chocolate over brittle, spreading quickly to cover. Sprinkle with 1 cup brittle. Rewarm reserved 2 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate over simmering water, stirring until warm. Dip spoon in chocolate and drizzle lines over brittle. Chill bark until firm enough to cut, about 20 minutes.
• Lift foil with bark onto work surface. Cut crosswise into 5 approximately 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 4 sections and diagonally into 2 triangles. (Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Chill in airtight container. Let stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before serving.)

SAUSAGE SPANAKOPITA TRIANGLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add sausage to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart the sausage until cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add spinach, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Continue cooking until the spinach is thawed, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in ricotta cheese and feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
• Unwrap the phyllo dough and cover with a towel to keep it from drying out.
• Working with one sheet at a time, brush 1/2 of the sheet with melted butter. Fold it in half lengthwise. Place a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of filling in the top-left corner. Fold the bottom-left corner over into a triangle shape. Continue folding edge over edge until you reach the end of the dough and a triangle shape is formed. Place the triangle on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Brush all the triangles with melted butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

KIELBASA AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Using mandolin, slice potatoes and place in 11x13 baking dish or pan.
• Mince onion finely and scatter throughout the potatoes. Add as much garlic as you want. I tend to use a heaping tbs of the jarred minced garlic. lay a few pats of butter or margarine on top of the potatoes/onion mixture.
• Next cut kielbasa into bite-size pieces and completely cover the bottom layer. You may have to overlap some of the pieces.
• Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, remove foil and continue baking.

SAUSAGE AND FETA PHYLLO TRIANGLES

Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet cook the sausage over moderate heat, stirring and breaking up the lumps, until it is cooked through and transfer it with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Add the oil to the skillet, in the fat cook the onion and the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, and in a bowl stir together the sausage, the onion mixture, the Feta, the red peppers, the cinnamon, the nutmeg, the bread crumbs, the parsley, the eggs, and salt and pepper to taste.
• On a work surface arrange 1 strip of the phyllo with a short side facing you, brush it lightly with some of the butter, and put 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling about 1 inch from the bottom end of the strip. Fold the lower right corner of the strip up over the filling, forming a triangle of the folded phyllo, continue to fold the filled triangle up the entire length of the strip, and brush the triangle lightly with some of the butter. Form more triangles in the same manner with the remaining phyllo, filling, and butter, transferring them to baking sheets as they are formed. The triangles may be made 1 week in advance and kept frozen in airtight containers. Do not thaw the triangles before baking. Bake the triangles in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden.

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Roll bread until very thin, spread with peanut butter and cut in half on the diagonal.
• Place a mound of kielbasa in the center of each triangle, fasten 2 corners of the bread together with a toothpick.
• Brush with melted butter and bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.
