What is kielbasa?

Kielbasa is the Polish word for sausage, and in Poland it can refer to a variety of traditional sausages. Here in the U.S., Polska kielbasa is typically a mild pork or beef sausage that is not smoked (or is very lightly smoked) and is seasoned with garlic and other spices. It's not spicy!

How do you cook fresh kielbasa?

You can cook fresh kielbasa nearly any way you like: Grill it, boil it, bake it or cook it in a skillet. Kielbasa goes nicely on a bun with a healthy heaping of sauerkraut on top.
