Best 8 Kielbasa Simmered In Beer And Onions Recipes

KIELBASA SIMMERED IN BEER AND ONIONS RECIPE - (3.6/5)

Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet, melt butter and saute the onions over medium heat until translucent. Add kielbasa and brown 3-4 minutes on each side. Pour the beer over the sausage and onions. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes. Remove the kielbasa and onions from the pan and put them on a serving dish in a warm oven. Reduce the beer over high heat to 2 cups. Pour over kielbasa and serve.

BOILED KIELBASA

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with 3"+ of water (or low sodium broth). Turn the pan on high to bring the water to a boil.
• Turn the burner down to medium-low once the water is boiling and add the whole kielbasa link.
• Simmer the kielbasa sausage for XYZ minutes until the Polish sausage is heated through. Remove the sausage from the water and let it rest 5+ minutes to slightly cool.
• Slice the sausage into 1-2" sections and serve with other side dishes like cooked cabbage, sauerkraut, sauteed bell peppers and onions, roasted potato wedges, piorgies, or pasta.

KIELBASA WITH BEER AND ONIONS

BEER-BRAISED SAUSAGES AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• In a large bowl soak sauerkraut in cold water to cover 20 minutes, changing water once halfway through soaking.
• While sauerkraut is soaking, in a large heavy skillet cook bacon pieces over moderate heat, stirring, until golden. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons drippings and add onions to bacon. Cook mixture, stirring, until onions are softened.
• Drain sauerkraut well in a colander, pressing out excess liquid, and in a large flameproof roasting pan combine with bacon mixture, carrots, beer, broth, bay leaves, salt, and peppercorns. Bring sauerkraut mixture to a boil on top of stove and boil 1 minute. Cover pan tightly with foil and braise in middle of oven 4 hours. Sauerkraut may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead, cooled, uncovered, and chilled, covered with plastic wrap. Reheat sauerkraut before proceeding.
• If desired, in a heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and in batches brown sausages. Add sausages and pork loin to sauerkraut, partially submerging them. Braise sausages and sauerkraut, covered tightly with foil, in middle of oven 30 minutes and transfer with a slotted spoon to a heated platter, discarding bay leaves if desired. (Do not eat bay leaves if leaving as garnish.)

SLOW COOKER KIELBASA AND BEER

• In a slow cooker combine sausage, beer and sauerkraut. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, until the meat is tender and plump.

BEER BRAISED SMOKED SAUSAGE (KIELBASA) AND KRAUT

Steps:

• Sauté kielbasa in a large frying pan or dutch oven until slightly browned (you can also grill the kielbasa for about 4 minutes on each side then add them to the pan and proceed with directions for even better flavor).
• Add beer, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes. Remove lid and place kraut over kielbasa. Sprinkle pepper over the kraut and just give the kraut a toss leaving it on top of the kielbasa. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove lid and stir the kraut and kielbasa together well. Cover and simmer for another 15 minutes.

POLSKA KIELBASA WITH BEER 'N ONIONS

BEER-SIMMERED GRILLED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• 1. Prick each sausage a half-dozen times with a needle or pin stuck in a cork. Arrange the onion slices on the bottom of a sauté pan just large enough to hold all the sausages. Place the sausages on top and add beer and water to cover (the ratio should be about 3 parts beer to 1 part water). Place the pan over medium heat and gradually bring the liquid to a simmer, not a rapid boil. Poach the sausages until half-cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a rack on a baking sheet to drain or drain in a colander. Separate the sausages into links.
• 2. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high.
• 3. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Lightly brush the sausages on all sides with oil and place on the hot grate. Grill until the casings are crisp and nicely browned and the sausages are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. You may want to rotate the sausages 90 degrees after 2 minutes on each side to create an attractive crosshatch of grill marks. Should flare-ups arise, move the sausages to a different section of the grill. Use a slender metal skewer to test for doneness. Insert it into the center of one of the sausages: It should come out hot to the touch.
• 4. Transfer the sausages to plates or a platter and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve with plenty of mustard.
• Variations: Poaching is optional and not every grill jockey does it. If you omit the poaching, you'll need to grill the sausages 7 to 10 minutes per side.
• For absolutely foolproof sausage grilling, use the indirect method. The sausages will be fully cooked in about 30 minutes.
