Fresh Kielbasa

By MCJ94

Ingredients

• 2 -4 lbs fresh kielbasa, not smoked, uncooked
• 1 onion, quartered
• 1 teaspoon marjoram (optional)
• 1/2 bay leaf
• peppercorn, a few
• boiling water
• 1 -2 garlic clove, smashed
• mustard seeds, a few

Preparation

Step 1

1
If the kielbasa is frozen, thaw it a little. Place fresh kielbasa in pot with 1 quartered onion, several peppercorns, garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon marjoram (optional) and half a bay leaf. The addition of spices helps replace the seasoning that boils out during cooking.
2
Add enough boiling water to cover.
3
Cover and simmer on very LOW heat for about 50-60 minutes. Too rapid boiling may cause the sausage to burst. DO NOT prick sausages; they become dry. Let cool in cooking liquid.
4
Sausage comes out moist and delicious, but not brown.
5
Can be frozen after cooking. Wrap very well. Vac seal if you can.
