Ingredients
- 16 oz Kielbasa sliced in half moons - either regular or turkey can be used
- 1 medium cabbage roughly 8 cups chopped
- 1 small onion chopped into large pieces. I use yellow onions or what I have
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Oil I use a high heat olive oil
- Optional - Paprika as garnish at the end
Notes
Cabbage cooks down significantly, so start with about 6–8 cups of chopped cabbage for the best balance with a 16-oz kielbasa. If your cabbage head is large, save half for another recipe.
No additional liquid is usually needed, as the cabbage releases moisture while cooking. Smoked paprika can be used for garnish, but it will add a noticeable smoky flavor.
