Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Sausage

Time 35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
4 eggs
5 cups water, divided
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 (13 ounce) packages kielbasa sausage, sliced into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Mix flour, basil, parsley, garlic salt, and pepper together in a large bowl, and make a well in the center of the mixture.
  • Whisk eggs and 1 cup water together in a medium bowl. Pour into the well in the flour. Stir until well combined; spaetzle dough will be thick and sticky.
  • Bring remaining 4 cups water to a boil in a pot over high heat; add salt.
  • Meanwhile, place spaetzle dough onto a cutting board. Slice off tiny dollops of dough, about the size of a pretzel stick, using a sharp knife. Drop into boiling water and cook until they float to the top of the pot, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer dollops to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar, garlic, and cayenne and stir until sugar is melted, about 1 minute. Add kielbasa and cooked spaetzle to butter mixture; stir over medium-high heat until kielbasa is warmed, 4 to 5 minutes.

SPICY MUSTARD KIELBASA BITES



Spicy Mustard Kielbasa Bites image

I had a 5-pound package of kielbasa that I wanted to use for an appetizer and went in search of something simple that I could prepare early in the day. Boy did I find a winner! The recipe is from FBNR.com (Favorite Brand Name Recipe web site). I highly recommend doubling or tripling the recipe, otherwise you'll be sorry when it disappears quickly and your guests are looking for more. If you have extra sauce, save it and use it to dip chicken nuggets or wings. I changed the directions to make this a more hostess-friendly recipe that can be prepared ahead of time and served hot in a small crock pot. Using a crock pot also makes it easier to prepare this at home and bring it to a party. You can play with the amount of honey. I think it could easily be decreased a bit to lower the calories and the hot sauce could be increased.
