Notes
- Sauerkraut — If you bought the sauerkraut in a jar, don’t forget to drain the pickling liquid before cooking it.
- Kielbasa — This famous Polish sausage is quite large, and as mentioned above, you will need to slice it into pieces. However, keep in mind that the bigger your pieces are, the longer it takes to cook. So, slicing it into small chunks would be best, especially if you’re short on time.
