Instructions

1. Prep: Slice kielbasa into coins. Thin-slice cabbage and onion. If using whole carrots, slice on a bias into thin coins. Optional: thin-slice 1 apple.
2. Brown sausage (stove): Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add kielbasa and cook 4–5 minutes until browned. Transfer to a plate (leave the fat in the pan).
3. Sauté aromatics: Add onion (and apple if using) to the skillet with 1 Tbsp oil/butter if the pan looks dry. Cook 3–4 minutes until softened.
4. Cook cabbage + carrots: Add cabbage and carrots, season with pepper and a small pinch of salt. Add caraway if using. Stir, then cover and cook 8–10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until cabbage is tender and slightly sweet.
5. Deglaze + season: Uncover, add vinegar and mustard plus 2 Tbsp water. Stir and scrape up browned bits. Simmer 1 minute.
6. Finish: Return kielbasa to the skillet and warm through 2 minutes. Taste and adjust—often it needs more pepper and a tiny splash more vinegar, not more salt.
7. Serve: Bowl it up as-is (it’s a full one-pan meal). If you want a starch side, serve with crusty bread or boiled potatoes.
