Trin for trin

1. 1

   Place the white kielbasa in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

   Ca. 10 min.

   Kokkens note: Do not boil the kielbasa aggressively, as this can cause the casings to burst.

2. 2

   Reduce the heat to low and simmer the kielbasa for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from the pot and set aside.

   Ca. 20 min.

3. 3

   In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the yellow onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

   Ca. 5 min.

4. 4

   Add the drained sauerkraut, sliced apple, caraway seed, bay leaf, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine.

5. 5

   Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender.

   Ca. 15 min.

6. 6

   While the sauerkraut is cooking, lightly brown the cooked kielbasa in a separate pan or under a broiler for a few minutes on each side, if desired, for extra flavor and color.

   Ca. 5 min.

   Kokkens note: Browning adds a nice texture and deeper flavor to the sausage.

7. 7

   Season the sauerkraut and apple mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaves before serving.

8. 8

   Serve the browned white kielbasa alongside the warm sauerkraut and apples. Garnish with fresh parsley, if using.
