Kielbasa y kapusta (Kielbasa and cabbage)

Recipe #25789 | 1 hour | 20 min prep | add private note

By: Molly Schneider
Apr 22, 2002

A standard Russian peasant dish handed down from my great-grandfather. Nothing fancy, but I haven't met anybody yet who doesn't like it. Great on chilly days. (Note: my family used to add a dab or two of butter to their plates, but that's optional.)

SERVES 4 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Peel potatoes and cut into quarters.
  2. 2
    Cut kielbasa into 3-inch lengths.
  3. 3
    Cut cabbage into wedges, discarding the outer leaves and core.
  4. 4
    Throw everything into medium-to-large stewpot, with the cabbage on top; add just enough water so that it comes about one to two inches short of covering cabbage (cabbage will"cook down").
  5. 5
    Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook for about 20 minutes or until cabbage is tender and potatoes can be split easily with a fork.
  6. 6
    Drain and serve in one big bowl or straight out of the pot, peasant style!

Bland. Boring. Probably should have added vinegar but at the end of the day, it's cabbage, potatoes and kielbasa.

    This was really good. I cut the recipe down to feed just hubby & I, and I added an onion & 1 clove of minced garlic, and also cooked the whole mixture in chicken broth. We both thought it tasted great, and we can definately appreciate the fact that a meal like this does not cost much to make. Thanks for posting.

    I added three or four dabs of butter to my plate, and salt and pepper like it was going out of style. I also kept most of the skin on my Yukon Gold potatoes (just because I like it). Let me tell you, those Russian peasants were on to something. Chop, chop, chop. Boil, boil, boil. Eat, drink, and be sleepy. Keep life simple. Thanks, Molly. I can't wait to try your Great-Grandfather's Beef Stroganoff!
