Ingredients

• 1 pound kielbasa sausage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 cups sauerkraut
• 15 ounces white beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the kielbasa into 1/2-inch rounds. Dice the yellow onion, mince the garlic, and peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.

Step 2

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the sauerkraut, white beans, chicken broth, and caraway seeds (if using). Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Return the kielbasa to the skillet and gently mix everything together. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the carrots are tender and the flavors have melded.

Step 7

Remove from heat and stir in the fresh dill. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with additional dill if desired. This dish pairs well with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
