Kielbasa Sausage With Apples And Onions Recipes

KIELBASA SAUSAGE WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Remove skin from the kielbasa and slice into bite-sized pieces.
• Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add kielbasa, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Fry until veggies have softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in apple, then cover with Cheddar cheese. Cover the pan and cook until cheese has melted, about 3 minutes.

SAUSAGES WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Put 2 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron skillet or wide, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, season generously with salt and pepper and stir to coat with butter. Add bay leaf, cloves, allspice, caraway and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft and nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat as necessary to keep onions from browning too quickly.
• Remove onions from pan and arrange on a platter. Put 2 more tablespoons butter in pan, and add apples. Raise heat to medium-high and brown apples on both sides, using a spatula to turn them, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove apples and arrange them on top of onions. Keep platter warm in a low oven.
• Keep stovetop heat at medium and place sausages in pan in one layer. Prick each sausage in several places with the tip of a sharp paring knife or toothpick.
• Let sausages brown slowly on one side (check their progress by turning them over with a fork or tongs) for 6 to 8 minutes. Lower the temperature if they're browning too quickly.
• Turn sausages over, and add 1/2 cup water to the pan. Let water evaporate completely, then continue to let sausages brown slowly for about 5 more minutes. (Cooking sausages at too high a temperature will cause them to burst; err on the cooler side.)
• To serve, place cooked sausages in the center of the onion-apple mixture on platter. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

KIELBASA WITH GOLDEN ONIONS AND APPLE

Steps:

• Lightly score each piece of sausage in several places with a sharp paring knife. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then brown half of sausage, turning occasionally, until golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Pour off fat from skillet and wipe skillet clean. Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and brown remaining sausage in same manner, transferring to bowl as cooked.
• Wipe skillet clean again, then cook onions with salt and pepper in butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, peel, core, and finely chop apple. Stir apple and broth into onion mixture and simmer briskly, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until apple is tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Add sausage and simmer, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute.

KIELBASA AND ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage slices, and cook until brown.
• Remove sausage slices from skillet, and drain grease. Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet and heat over medium-low.
• Spread sliced onions evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Stir onions to coat them with the oil and butter mixture.
• Cook onions for about 20 minutes or until soft and brown. If onions seem to be cooking too quickly, lower heat to prevent them from burning.
• Return sausage slices to the skillet, and stir together with the onions. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook until sausage is warmed through. Serve immediately, and enjoy!

ONE-POT KIELBASA WITH CABBAGE, APPLES, AND CARAWAY

• Add the cabbage, apple cider, red onion, caraway seeds, salt and pepper.
• Bring to boiling; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add the apples and cook, uncovered, 5 to 10 minutes more or until the cabbage is tender and the cooking juices are slightly reduced.
• Serve with grainy mustard for spreading on susages and cabbage, and cider vinegar for drizzling atop.
