Marthas Kielbasa Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss together cabbage, onions, oil, 3 tablespoons vinegar, and caraway seeds on a rimmed baking sheet; generously season with salt and pepper. Spread into a single layer and roast 25 minutes.
• Gently turn vegetables. Add apples, cut side down, and kielbasa to baking sheet, keeping everything in a single layer. Roast until cabbage is crisp-tender and apples are tender and slightly collapsed, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar. Slice kielbasa and divide equally among 4 plates with vegetables and apples. Serve with mustard.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Prick kielbasa in a few places with a fork. Add to skillet and cook, flipping once, until browned in places, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add onion to skillet; reduce heat to medium, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Stir in curry powder; cook 30 seconds. Add lentils and 2 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
• Stir in rice, tomatoes, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Return kielbasa and any juices to skillet. Cover; simmer over low until rice and lentils are just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Add spinach, cover, and cook until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir spinach into rice mixture; season to taste. Slice sausage and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Cut the Kielbasa into bite size pieces. Place in a large ziploc baggie. Add the box of brown sugar. Mix the sugar and Kielbasa inside the baggie. Place in the refrigerator over night. Brown sugar will mix with the fat of the Kielbasa and liquefy. Place meat and liquid in a slow cooker and cook on low for a few hours until ready to serve at a party. Can skim off fat from liquid if there is any.

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.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt. Return to a boil; cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain; immediately toss with oil, vinegar, mustard, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; season with pepper. Refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes. Stir in chives.
• Meanwhile, heat grill to high. Brush grates with oil. Grill kielbasa until heated through and charred, about 3 minutes per side. Cut crosswise on the bias into 2-inch pieces. Serve with potato salad.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high (if you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds). Using your hands, remove about 1/2 cup bread from each side of the loaf. Brush hollowed-out sides of bread with oil.
• Grill kielbasa, flipping once, until browned and heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Grill bread, flipping once, until lightly marked by grill, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer kielbasa and bread to a cutting board. Halve kielbasa crosswise. Spread hollowed-out sides of bread with mustard; top each with half of the sauerkraut and a halved kielbasa ring. Cut each into 4 wedges. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sausage; cook and stir until the sausage is crisp. Mix in the rice, water, tomato sauce, adobo seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• If the kielbasa is frozen, thaw it a little. Place fresh kielbasa in pot with 1 quartered onion, several peppercorns, garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon marjoram (optional) and half a bay leaf. The addition of spices helps replace the seasoning that boils out during cooking.
• Add enough boiling water to cover.
• Cover and simmer on very LOW heat for about 50-60 minutes. Too rapid boiling may cause the sausage to burst. DO NOT prick sausages; they become dry. Let cool in cooking liquid.
• Sausage comes out moist and delicious, but not brown.
• Can be frozen after cooking. Wrap very well. Vac seal if you can.
