Simply Glazed Kielbasa Over Rice Food

KIELBASA APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Combine the beer, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a large skillet over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally; reduce heat to low and add the kielbasa. Simmer until kielbasa is browned and glazed, about 1 hour.

BROWN SUGAR GLAZED KIELBASA (ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS!)

Steps:

• In a nonstick skillet, add sausage and brown over medium high heat for about 4-5 minutes. Pour coca-cola and brown sugar into the skillet. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low.
• Stir and simmer anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes. (All stoves are different. On my stove, it takes about 30 minutes for these to caramelize. I've made these at friends' houses and it has taken 10 minutes. You have to eye ball it. You know your stove better than I do. What you're looking for is a thick, caramelized consistency so keep stirring until it becomes a thick glaze.)
• Once the cola and brown sugar mixture become a glaze over the sliced sausages, remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer sausages to a plate and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. The sausages will be VERY HOT, please be careful. Enjoy!

SIMPLE GLAZED KIELBASA

Steps:

• Cut the kielbasa into 3/8" thick slices at an angle .
• Heat a non stick pan to a medium high heat, or if you don't have a non-stick can add a bit of cooking oil. Add sausage slices and cook until desired look.
• Add just a splash of white wine to coat the bottom of the pan. Probably a 1/2 cup.
• Add a handful of brown sugar, 1/4 cup will work. More or less you decide.
• Add mustard to sausage pieces. I used Dijon mustard, my preference to mustard. Add some dry parsley, about a 1/2 teaspoons more or less.
• Stir and let the sausages cook for about 10 minutes on low. These ingredients will thicken quickly.
• Do not over cook or the sauce will burn easily.
• So good, so simple.

MAPLE AND APPLE GLAZED KIELBASA

Steps:

• Heat saucepan on stove on medium heat. In a bowl, combine in this order: syrup, brown sugar, apple cider, and water. Whisk until smooth consistency and pour into saucepan for 5-7 minutes, stirring often. (Be sure not to bring mixture to a boil). In a medium skillet, bring to medium-high heat and add oil. Next, add slices of kielbasa and fry until just golden brown and hot. Drain any excess oil. Remove saucepan with syrup mixture and gradually pour over kielbasa in skillet being careful not to splatter. Simmer for about 8 minutes or until syrup adds a nice "glaze." Cooking too long can burn the syrup and cause a poor glaze. Toss in crumbled pieces of bacon and remove from heat. Let sit for 1-2 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite rice or sweet potatoes and a vegetable.

KIELBASA WITH HONEY MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Slice kielbasa diagonally into 1/4 inch pieces.
• In a medium-size skillet saute kielbasa in ginger ale until they are heated through. Drain well. Arrange the kielbasa on the prepared baking sheet, then sprinkle them with brown sugar.
• Broil the kielbasa until the brown sugar melts and begins to crystallize, check after 3 to 5 minutes. Serve the kielbasa with honey mustard for dipping.

SAUCY KIELBASA BITES

• Cook stirring frequently on medium heat until it starts to boil.
• Reduce heat to minimum, cover and cook stirring regularly until sauce thickens, 30-45 minutes.
• Serve in a shallow dish with toothpicks (or else stick a toothpick in each piece and arrange on a platter).
