I need a good recipe for Kielbasi?

Question

My Aunt sent me some fresh Kielbassi for Easter and I'm not sure how to cook it right. If you have any idea's for how to cook it or good recipes I love to hear them. Thank's much. Deb

Answer 1

I cut up Kielbasa and add it to red beans and rice. You can buy the box mix for the read beans and rice or make your own. Either way, if you like something that's slightly spicy I recommend trying it! The recipe at the link calls for turkey kielbasa, but I use pork or beef. I also omit the tomatoes completely.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked rice
1 (16 ounce) package kielbasa, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 clove chopped garlic
2 (15 ounce) cans canned kidney beans, drained
1 (16 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper
DIRECTIONS
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
In a large skillet over low heat, cook sausage for 5 minutes. Stir in onion, green pepper and garlic; saute until tender. Pour in beans and tomatoes with juice. Season with oregano, salt and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Serve over rice.

Answer 3

You can also grill like like a hot dog. I do it all the time and it is so good. Trust me. It is easier then some of the other recipes that people sent. I am sure they are good but the grilled kielbasi is too.

Answer 8

it's a cured meat product so doesn't actually need cooking. i remember last time my wife and i visited her family in poland we ate it cold, sliced, with other meats, cheeses, pickles and bread. and of course lots of cold vodka!!
