Drain the sauerkraut, squeeze out excess liquid by hand, and chop coarsely.
Slice the beef kielbasa thickly and brown both sides in olive oil for 8 minutes.
Add the onion and turn it with the sausage for 5 minutes, until softened.
Add the sauerkraut, grated apple, black pepper, salt, and hot water to the pan.
Cover and cook for 15 minutes, then uncover once the cabbage is tender.
Add the butter and cook for 7 more minutes, stirring until the liquid reduces and the edges brown.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find Polish kielbasa, use a good smoked beef sausage, but avoid heavily spiced sucuk because it overwhelms the sour cabbage.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the sausage and cabbage hot with boiled potatoes and optional mustard, like a cold day dinner plate.
