• 1 medium onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 16 ounces sauerkraut
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven.

Step 2

Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch rounds. Add to the skillet and cook until they are browned on the edges, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

While the sausage is cooking, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 4

Once the sausage is browned, remove it from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the onions and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Drain the sauerkraut and add to the skillet, stirring it into the onions and garlic.

Step 8

Stir in the caraway seeds, smoked paprika, and return the sausage to the skillet.

Step 9

Pour in the chicken broth and mix everything to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Stir occasionally, ensuring the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

Step 12

Once cooked, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Keto Sauerkraut with Sausage as a satisfying low-carb meal.
