KIELBASA AND CABBAGE STEW



Kielbasa and Cabbage Stew image

This is a recipe passed down from my husband's mom. I have no idea where she got it from, but I am glad I got it from her. It is a quick and easy stew. If you like cabbage and kielbasa, you will like this. What a great winter dish.. enjoy!

Provided by sandale99

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb kielbasa
1 large head of cabbage
1 large onion
3 -4 russet potatoes (peeled)
water
garlic (to taste)
salt and pepper (to taste)
vinegar (to add on as wanted per serving)

Steps:

  • Cut the cabbage in about 8 slices and then in chunks. Place this in a pot with enough water to cover. Add onion that has been cut into chunks. Cover and bring to a boil.
  • When the cabbage is almost done, add sliced raw potatoes (about 1/2" thick) and sliced Kielbasa.(sliced thin(about 1/4") if you want meat in every bite, or thick if you want to bite into chunks (about 3/4").
  • Also add your spices. There should be just enough water to barely cover the stew.
  • Cover and cook at a simmer till potatoes are done.(about 15 minutes).
  • I serve this in a soup bowl, and add a bit of vinegar to your liking, just before eating. If you don't care for vinegar, adding a bit of chicken stock and less water while cooking will flavor this dish also.
  • It is a real warm you up meal on a cold winter day. I keep this meal simple. I serve with it with biscuits and butter, or a loaf of garlic bread.

This is a very simple and great recipe that my family has been making for years and I don't see anything like it on this site. It's from a 1976 edition of a Better Homes and Gardens Crockery Cooker cookbook, listed as Sausage-Garbanzo bake. I usually double the recipe and serve with white rice. You can reduce the fat content by choosing low-fat or Turkey-kielbasa.

LENTIL-VEGETABLE-KIELBASA SLOW COOKER STEW



Lentil-Vegetable-Kielbasa Slow Cooker Stew image

I adapted this from the "Fix-it and Forget-It Lightly" cookbook. The original recipe is great, but my carnivore husband suggested adding the kielbasa, which I did in the last hour of slow cooking. I also threw in extra veggies, both fresh and canned. This is one of those recipes you don't have to worry about measuring the veggies...in fact, add whatever you fancy!

Categories     Stew

Time 10h15m

3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 lb dried lentils, rinsed and drained with any stones removed
1 large onion, chopped
4 carrots, cut into 1/2 inch rounds
4 stalks celery, cut into 1/2 inch slices
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 large red potatoes, cubed
1 (24 ounce) can turnip greens or 1 (24 ounce) can kale
1 lb light pre-cooked kielbasa, sliced (optional)
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine water, tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, red wine, basil, thyme, bay leaf, crush red peeper in slow cooker.
  • Stir to blend.
  • Add lentils, onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, garlic, greens and kielbasa.
  • Cover.
  • Cook on low 10-12 hours or on high 4-5 hours.
  • Remove bay leaf, and serve with chopped basil, parsley, hot sauce or sour cream garnish (or any combination of these).
  • NOTE: I prefer to add the canned greens and kielbasa in the last hour of cooking, but if you don't have time for that, just throw everything together in the slow cooker and forget about it until dinnertime!
