Polska Kielbasa And Caramelized Onions Recipes

SPAETZLE WITH KIELBASA AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, lightly brown the kielbasa until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Melt the butter in the skillet. Stir in the onion and thyme, and stir briefly to coat the onion with butter. Cook onion, without stirring, until dark brown, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and cook on low heat until very soft and caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons water and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Transfer onion to a bowl.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir well. The batter should be fairly wet, with a consistency slightly thicker than pancake batter.
• Spread a clean dish towel flat on a work surface adjacent to the stove. Working over the pot of boiling water, press dough through a spaetzle maker or use a rubber spatula to push it through a colander with holes at least 1/4-inch wide. Drop dough into the water. When dumplings rise to the surface, use a slotted spoon to transfer to the towel.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Toss the spaetzle and kielbasa in the bowl with the onions, and add 1 1/2 cups cheese and the pepper. Spread into a 2-quart gratin dish. Sprinkle the top of the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until golden and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.

KIELBASA AND ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage slices, and cook until brown.
• Remove sausage slices from skillet, and drain grease. Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet and heat over medium-low.
• Spread sliced onions evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Stir onions to coat them with the oil and butter mixture.
• Cook onions for about 20 minutes or until soft and brown. If onions seem to be cooking too quickly, lower heat to prevent them from burning.
• Return sausage slices to the skillet, and stir together with the onions. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook until sausage is warmed through. Serve immediately, and enjoy!

KIELBASA WITH PIEROGIES & CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat 2 T olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, stirring occasionally, until they turn a golden color, about 15-20 minutes. Spread pierogies on top of onions in a single layer. Lower heat to medium, cover pan and let cook another 5 minutes, stirring every other minute. Add sausage slices and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until pierogies and sausage are cooked through and starting to turn golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together vinegar, mustard and remaining 1 T olive oil.
• Add dressing to pan with the sausages, pierogies and onions and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Place on a serving platter and garnish with parsley.

SPICY KIELBASA DOG WITH STOUT ONIONS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until melted. Add the beer and onions and cook, stirring often and reducing the heat to low as the onions start to brown, until the onions are caramelized and all of the liquid has reduced to allow the sugars to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a large saute pan, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Split the links through the center just to open them up so they lay flat. Sear the links on the cut side until brown, about 5 minutes, then remove them from the pan. In the same pan, toast the buns again on the cut side until brown, a few minutes.
• Spread the mustard onto the buns, then add the links. Top with the pickled peppers and caramelized onions. Finish with a small handful of watercress and serve.
