Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1 lb kielbasa I prefer Hillshire Farm for the best snap
  • 2.5 tbsp olive oil I reach for Botticelli for a smooth finish
  • 1 large onion
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cabbage cut into 1-inch thick ribbons for even wilting
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar adds a hit of acid to balance the fat
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Method

Cooking

  • Begin by slicing the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Add the cabbage to the skillet, along with the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts and is tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Finally, add the kielbasa and red wine vinegar. Stir everything together and cook until the sausage is heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

This dish is best served hot on its own or with a slice of crusty bread. You can also pair it with a light salad for a complete meal. For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat. Different types of sausage can be used such as chicken or turkey sausage. Cut cabbage into even pieces to ensure it cooks uniformly.
