SHEET-PAN KIELBASA WITH CABBAGE AND BEANS



Sheet-Pan Kielbasa With Cabbage and Beans image

This sheet-pan dinner of roasted kielbasa, caramelized cabbage and white beans marinated in a dill-and-red wine vinaigrette comes together in about a half-hour. There are many different types of kielbasa, but the smoked version typically found at American grocery stores is horseshoe-shaped and, when roasted, tastes a little like pepperoni. Feel free to play around with substitutions: You can use green or red cabbage for the Savoy, though the leaves won't get quite as frizzled and golden. Instead of dill, chives or parsley can bring freshness. Instead of shallot, use scallions, red-pepper flakes or grated garlic for sharp heat. Instead of mustard, you could use horseradish, chopped pickles or sauerkraut for briny acidity.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium Savoy cabbage (2 to 2 1/2 pounds), cut through the root into 1-inch-thick wedges
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for tossing the cabbage
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 ounces to 1 pound smoked kielbasa, diagonally sliced 1/4-inch-thick
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
1 shallot, finely chopped
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 (14-ounce) can white beans, such as great Northern or cannellini, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Add the cabbage to a rimmed baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper to coat. Arrange in an even layer, then scatter the kielbasa on top. Roast without flipping until cabbage is tender and charred in spots and the kielbasa is dark golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together 1/4 cup olive oil with the vinegar, dill, shallot, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the beans and stir to combine.
  • Divide the cabbage and sausage among plates and spoon the beans and vinaigrette on top.

KIELBASA, CABBAGE, & RICE DINNER



Kielbasa, Cabbage, & Rice Dinner image

I love this dish on a cold winter afternoon or evening. It's easy to make, fast to prepare, and if you want to, you can up the ingredients and feed a crowd. Great for football parties. If you make ahead of time, undercook the cabbage so it's not completely wilted later.

Categories     Meat

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 kielbasa (1 to 1-1/2 lbs.)
1 medium onion, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup orange juice
1 head green cabbage, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1 cup white rice
1 medium onion, chopped fine
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups water
3 green tea bags
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Start the rice first. Boil 2 cups water and let 3 green tea bags steep in water. (You can skip the tea bags if you wish). In pot, saute the finely chopped onion with the butter until golden. Add the tea, garlic powder, and thyme and whisk together. Add rice; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let cook 20-25 minutes.
  • While rice is cooking on low, cut up the kielbasa. I like to cut slices into quarters, but halves or complete slices are good too. In a large skillet saute the chopped onion in olive oil until golden. Add the kielbasa and cook about 8 minutes, stirring to evenly brown.
  • Add orange juice to the kielbasa and onion, then add salt, black pepper, cayenne, and caraway seeds. Stir to mix all together, then add the chopped cabbage.
  • Simmer the kielbasa and cabbage about 15 minutes. I cover the skillet for the first 7 minutes, then when the cabbage has softened a bit, I stir everything so the juice and kielbasa is evenly distributed and simmer the last four 8 minutes uncovered.
  • Your rice should be done when the cabbage is just getting tender but still a bit crisp. Either plate the dish with a scoop of rice topped with the kielbasa and cabbage, or do what we do and mix it all together to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the best kielbasa. Look for a kielbasa that is made with high-quality pork and has a good flavor. You can also use smoked kielbasa for a more intense flavor.
  • Use fresh cabbage. Fresh cabbage will give your dish a crisp texture and a slightly sweet flavor. If you don't have fresh cabbage, you can use frozen cabbage, but be sure to thaw it before using.
  • Cook the kielbasa and cabbage together. This will help the flavors to meld and create a delicious dish. You can cook them in a skillet or in a slow cooker.
  • Add rice to the dish. Rice is a great way to add bulk and heartiness to your dish. You can use white rice, brown rice, or even wild rice.
  • Season the dish to taste. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other spices that you like. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a bit of brightness.

Conclusion:

Kielbasa, cabbage, and rice is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up leftover kielbasa and cabbage, and it's also a budget-friendly meal. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even more delicious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this kielbasa, cabbage, and rice dinner a try.
