Recipe from: The Cookie Rookie

Ingredients: 

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 
• 2 pounds fully cooked polska kielbasa , cut in half lengthwise, then cut into 2 inch pieces 
• 1 small head cabbage , core removed, coarsely chopped 
• 1 large sweet onion , cut into large pieces 
• 3 cloves garlic , minced 
• 2 teaspoons sugar (optional) 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 
• 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar 
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dijon or brown grainy mustard 

Instructions: 

1. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high and add kielbasa. Cook, without stirring for 1 minute. Then stir occasionally for about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. 
2. In the same pan with some of the rendered kielbasa fat, add the cabbage, onion, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for about 5 minutes or more (depending how tender you like the vegetable), stirring occasionally. 
3. Mix in the vinegar and mustard; add the kielbasa back to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. 
4. Serve immediately and enjoy! 
5. NOTE: If you’re not on a low carb diet, consider adding in some roasted potatoes or cooked egg noodles at the end – delish! The sugar is optional in this recipe, as noted, but it does give great balance to the salty kielbasa and tangy vinegar and mustard.
