This Kielbasa With Mustard Dip Recipe Is From Modern Comfort Food Cookbook by Ina Garten

Ingredients Needed:

• 570 grams (1¼ pounds) smoked kielbasa (Polish sausage)
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
• 120 grams (½ cup) good mayonnaise (e.g., Hellmann’s)
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) whole-grain mustard
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) prepared horseradish
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

How To Make Kielbasa With Mustard Dip?

1. Prepare Kielbasa: Slice the kielbasa crosswise into 1.25 cm (½ inch) thick diagonal pieces. Heat 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil in a medium (25 to 28 cm) sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned on both sides.
2. Make Mustard Dip: While the kielbasa cooks, whisk together 120 grams (½ cup) mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) whole-grain mustard, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) prepared horseradish, ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt, and ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) pepper in a medium bowl.
3. Serve: Serve the kielbasa hot from the pan with small wooden skewers and a dish of the mustard sauce on the side for dipping.

Recipe Tips:

• Choose Quality Kielbasa: Use high-quality smoked kielbasa for the best flavor. Look for one with a rich, smoky aroma.
• Heat the Pan Properly: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the kielbasa. This helps it brown evenly and develop a good texture.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Cook the kielbasa in batches if necessary. Overcrowding can make it steam instead of brown.
• Customize the Dip: Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, or horseradish in the dip to suit your taste.
• Serve Hot: Serve the kielbasa right from the pan for the best flavor and texture.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover kielbasa cool to room temperature before storing it. Place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: If you want to freeze the kielbasa, place it in an airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. To thaw, move it to the refrigerator overnight.
• Reheat: Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the kielbasa and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until warmed through.
