Ingredients

• 1 pound kielbasa sausage
• 1 head red cabbage
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 medium apples, thinly sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the red cabbage into shreds, core removed, and set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat and melt the butter.

Step 3

Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and lightly golden.

Step 4

Stir in the caraway seeds and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the shredded red cabbage, sliced apples, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and water to the skillet. Mix everything well to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The cabbage should become tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

While the cabbage cooks, slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch rounds.

Step 8

In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the kielbasa slices and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on both sides.

Step 9

Serve the cooked kielbasa alongside the rohtkohl, either side-by-side or layered on a plate. Enjoy warm as a comforting, flavorful meal.
