Ingredients

  • 4 pounds savoy cabbage, coarsely sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons bacon drippings
  • 20 ounces kielbasa, sliced 1/3" thick
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons instant flour (what?)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt
  • 4 cups boiling water

How To Make kielbasa z kapusta (polish sausage & cabbage, mark

  • Step 1
    Place the cabbage in a large saucepan with about cups of boiling water, and bring all to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Fry the onions in half of the drippings until golden. Add the rest of the drippings and the sausage, and fry for a few more minutes. Add the sausage, leaving the drippings in the pan, to the cabbage, and simmer for 10 more minutes. Add the flour to the drippings. Fry for a few minutes. Dilute with some liquid from the cabbage. Add the mix to the cabbage. Bring back to a boil. Add salt, sugar, and lemon juice.
  • Step 2
    Notes: There's an almost religious dispute between the proponents of lemon juice to add flavor and those who favor vinegar. Many traditionalists, particularly those in Eastern Poland would only use vinegar for the job.
