Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 16 ounces kielbasa (smoked Polish sausage) sliced into 1/4" rounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 medium green cabbage sliced thin, core removed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Step 1: Brown the Kielbasa
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's nicely browned (7-10 minutes). Turn the heat down to medium once it gets going. Remove the kielbasa from the pan and set aside.
Step 2: Soften the Onions
  1. Add the butter and onion to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Cook the Cabbage
  1. Add the cabbage to the pan and cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring fairly often. The cabbage at the bottom of the pan will start to wilt after a few minutes and it will become easier to stir. The onions will also start to lightly brown and become more flavorful.
Step 4: Blend the Flavors
  1. Once the cabbage is tender-crisp and cooked to your liking, add the garlic and paprika. Stir until it's combined.
Step 5: Add Kielbasa & Serve
  1. Add in the sausage and cook for a couple more minutes until it's heated through. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
