Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb kielbasa sausage (or similar smoked sausage)
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 onion, medium (yellow, red or white), thinly sliced
1 apple, medium*, peeled and cut in thin sticks
1/2 cup malty dark beer or hard cider (to deglaze)**
3 cups sauerkraut***
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 bay leaf (optional)
1/2 tsp caraway seeds
2 whole cloves (optional)
1/2 tsp peppercorns (green or black)
1/2 cup stock (vegetable or beef)****
1 tsp kosher salt

Steps:

  • STOVETOP ONLY METHOD1. Slice the kielbasa diagonally to create more surface area to sear. Heat a heavy bottomed skillet such as cast iron over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil and kielbasa and sear until it begins to brown. Remove and set aside. 2. In the same skillet saute the sliced onion and apple for about 3-5 minutes. Deglaze with a bit of the malty beer or hard cider and let most of the liquid simmer away. Add the sauerkraut, brown sugar, bay leaf, cloves, peppercorns, caraway and salt and mix everything well together. Add the rest of the beer or cider and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf and cloves before they leave a hint of bitterness. 3. Add the browned kielbasa back to the skillet, add the stock and mix well. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Serve. STOVETOP AND OVEN METHOD1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. (Make sure the skillet you are using is oven safe). 2. Perform steps from 1 and 2 above. Add the kielbasa and stock to the sauerkraut, mix everything and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 5-10 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Serve.
