KIELBASA APPLE KABOBS



Kielbasa Apple Kabobs image

This is a super simple recipe I copied from the Whole Foods Market website. The grilled kielbasa have such a wonderful flavor. You can even use turkey kielbasa to save on calories and fat. I use more apple just because my kids like the way they taste off the grill. It's okay to let the ingredients sit in the lemon juice mixture for a few minutes. I was concerned about that at first, but it does not overpower or alter the flavor of the dish. I also don't use the skewers. I use a grilling basket - it's much faster!! I serve with couscous.

Polska Kielbasa is good when grilled and glazed. The fruity sauce is a natural for the threesome: onion, sausage and apples. The recipe makes just enough sauce for the glaze; nothing leftover for dipping.

Found this recipe in "Quick Cooking". Very simple to prepare if you are in a hurry. I have served this with a potato casserole and my little guy loves it. May use healthier cut of sausage (ie - turkey).

Provided by Naner

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 lbs cooked kielbasa
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup apple jelly
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • Cut kielbasa into 1/4 slices.

  • Remove lid and boil additional 5 minutes.
  • Drain any remaining liquid.
  • Add jelly and syrup to kielbasa.
  • Toss together until jelly has coated the kielbasa slices.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality kielbasa: Select a kielbasa that is made with fresh, flavorful meat and has a good balance of spices.
  • Slice the kielbasa thinly: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different types of apples will give your dish a variety of flavors and textures. For example, Granny Smith apples are tart and crisp, while Honeycrisp apples are sweet and juicy.
  • Cook the kielbasa and apples until they are browned: This will help to develop their flavor and make them more caramelized.
  • Add a splash of apple cider or white wine: This will help to deglaze the pan and add a bit of acidity to the dish.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Apple kielbasa is best served hot and fresh out of the pan.
