KIELBASA Y KAPUSTA (KIELBASA AND CABBAGE)



Kielbasa y kapusta (Kielbasa and cabbage) image

A standard Russian peasant dish handed down from my great-grandfather. Nothing fancy, but I haven't met anybody yet who doesn't like it. Great on chilly days. (Note: my family used to add a dab or two of butter to their plates, but that's optional.)

Categories     Pork

Time 1h

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 rings kielbasa
2 heads cabbage
5 -6 medium potatoes
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and cut into quarters.
  • Cut kielbasa into 3-inch lengths.
  • Cut cabbage into wedges, discarding the outer leaves and core.
  • Throw everything into medium-to-large stewpot, with the cabbage on top; add just enough water so that it comes about one to two inches short of covering cabbage (cabbage will"cook down").
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook for about 20 minutes or until cabbage is tender and potatoes can be split easily with a fork.
  • Drain and serve in one big bowl or straight out of the pot, peasant style!

KAPUZTA

This is a truly authentic "Old World recipe"-friends of our family who moved here from Poland gave it to my mother years ago. It's been a favorite Sunday dinner with all of us ever since then. I've found that it's always a hit at potluck dinners, too. After my husband and I moved to our dairy farm, I discovered that this hearty, one-dish dinner was a perfect one for our busy schedule...and that any leftovers taste even better the second day!

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 two-pound ring kielbasa
Rye bread
Prepared horseradish
Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a pot of simmering water, poach kielbasa for 20 minutes. Remove from pot, and transfer to a roasting pan with about 1 cup of the poaching water. Using a fork, poke the skin of the kielbasa to prevent it from cracking. Roast until brown and crispy, about 20 minutes.
  • Slice kielbasa on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices. Serve with rye bread, horseradish, and mustard.

Tips:

  • Use fresh kielbasa for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh kielbasa, you can use smoked kielbasa, but it will have a different flavor.
  • Sauerkraut can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores. If you can't find sauerkraut, you can use fresh cabbage. Just shred the cabbage and let it sit in a bowl with some salt for 30 minutes before using it.
  • Use a large pot to make kapusta and kielbasa. This will give the ingredients plenty of room to cook and will prevent the kapusta from burning.
  • Serve kapusta and kielbasa with mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, or bread. You can also serve it with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Conclusion:

Kapusta and kielbasa is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your kapusta sour or mild, with or without tomatoes, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give kapusta and kielbasa a try.
