Step 1

Heat butter in large pan on medium-high heat until melted and foamy.

Step 2

Add diced onions to pan, cook until soft and transparent, about 4 minutes. Stir to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 3

Add garlic to pan, cook until fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add cabbage to pan and toss well to coat in butter.

Step 5

Generously season with salt.

Step 6

Let cabbage reduce by half, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally as it cooks down to prevent burning and allow it to cook evenly.

Step 7

Slice smoked polska kielbasa into thin rounds and add to pan with cabbage and onions.

Step 8

When cabbage has lost much of it's volume and started to turn shiny, slightly translucent, and has lovely browned bits - and polska kielbasa has browned slightly (smoked kielbasa has been cooked already, so you're just adding some browning and flavor to it), it is ready to serve.

Step 9

Remove from heat and plate with your favorite meat, casserole, fish, or other main dish!
