Ingredients

• 1 pound kielbasa sausage
• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into quarters, then slice into thin shreds. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the kielbasa slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the same pan. Once melted, add the sliced onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic, paprika, and caraway seeds, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and toss to coat it with the onion and spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the cabbage to soften slightly.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Return the browned kielbasa slices to the pan, nestling them into the cabbage. Cover the skillet and let it cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
