Ingredients

• 12 oz kielbasa sausage
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 15 oz black beans
• 14 oz diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 2 cups cooked white rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the kielbasa sausage into thin rounds.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced kielbasa and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 7

Stir in curry powder, ground cumin, and smoked paprika, and cook for 30 seconds until the spices are fragrant.

Step 8

Add the black beans (drain and rinse if using canned), diced tomatoes with their juices, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Return the cooked kielbasa to the pan. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 10

Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or spices if needed.

Step 12

Serve hot over cooked white rice, if desired, and garnish with fresh cilantro for added color and flavor.
