KIELBASA OR SMOKED SAUSAGE CABBAGE SALAD WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Saute the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until lightly brown; drain on paper towels, and let cool (of coarse, this may be done a day ahead if desired).
• Place the sauted sausage, cabbage, cucumber and radishes in a large bowl; toss to combine.
• In a small bowl, combine the mayo, sour cream, Dijon mustard, horseradish, dill weed, garlic powder, salt (add a small amount of salt, as the feta is salty!) and pepper; stir to blend.
• Stir in the crumbled feta; mix well.
• Pour the dressing over the sausage/veggie mixture, and stir slightly until well mixed.
• Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.

STOVE TOP SMOKED KIELBASA AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Slice the kielbasa on the bias into pieces that are about 1 1/2 inches long.
• In a very large skillet over medium heat, pour in the cooking oil and brown the sausage pieces. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
• Deglaze the skillet with the chicken broth, add the chipotle pepper and tomato, stirring to blend. After a couple of minutes, add the cabbage. Sprinkle on the seasoned salt, add in the butter, and cover, allowing the cabbage to cook over medium heat. After 10 minutes, add the sausage back in, add the sugar, stir, and re-cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow to cook until the cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Serve hot.
