Cabbage and Kielbasa Skillet

Print Recipe

Savory skillet with sautéed cabbage, kielbasa, and peppers in a tangy mustard-butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 g kielbasa, thinly sliced
  • 1 large head green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.25–0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent and softened, approximately 6–8 minutes.
  2. Incorporate diced red bell pepper and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until aromatic. Stir in white wine vinegar, deglazing the skillet to release any browned bits.
  4. Move onion, pepper, and garlic to the sides of the pan. Place sliced kielbasa in the centre and sear for 2–3 minutes on each side, until well browned.
  5. Add unsalted butter and Dijon mustard to the pan. Stir in sliced cabbage, paprika, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat.
  6. Continue cooking for 5–10 minutes until cabbage is wilted and lightly browned on the edges. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For even caramelisation, avoid overcrowding the pan when browning kielbasa and stir the cabbage occasionally to ensure uniform wilting.
