Ingredients
  

For the Protein
  • 8 ounces Smoked Polish Kielbasa Adds a rich, smoky flavor; feel free to substitute with fresh Polish sausage if desired.
For the Base
  • 3-4 cups Cooked Gnocchi Provides a soft texture that's the heart of this meal; potato dumplings can be an alternative.
For the Flavor

  • 1 medium Yellow Onion Adds natural sweetness when sautéed.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Imparts aromatic depth, adjust according to taste.
For the tangy twist
  • 1 can Sauerkraut Brings tanginess that pairs perfectly with sausage; you can replace it with sautéed green cabbage for a milder touch.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add ½ tablespoon of caraway seeds and toast them for 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Dice one medium yellow onion and three cloves of garlic and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the drained sauerkraut and cook for another 3-4 minutes to warm it through with the other ingredients.
  4. Slice the kielbasa into ¼-inch thick circles and add to the skillet, browning for 5-6 minutes until caramelized.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, followed by grainy mustard, salt, black pepper, and white pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the cooked gnocchi and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, checking occasionally.
  7. Uncover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and the reserved toasted caraway seeds, stirring to combine.
