Questions about Polish sausage
What does “Polish sausage” mean?
It is a broad English name for Polish-style sausage, often a garlicky, smoked pork sausage. In Polish, *kiełbasa* simply means “sausage”, so it does not refer to just one recipe.
How do you cook Polish sausage in a frying pan?
If it is already cooked, slice it and fry over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes, turning until browned and hot throughout. For whole sausages, make a few shallow slashes in the skin so they are less likely to split.
Can you eat Polish sausage without cooking it?
Only if the packaging says it is fully cooked or ready to eat; smoked sausage is not automatically cooked. Cook raw sausage until the centre reaches 75 °C.
How long does Polish sausage keep after opening?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use it within 3–4 days; refrigerate cooked leftovers within 2 hours. Freeze portions you will not use in that time, and thaw them in the fridge.
What goes well with Polish sausage?
Serve it with mustard, sauerkraut and boiled or mashed potatoes. Sliced sausage also works in bigos, a Polish stew of sauerkraut, cabbage and meat.
What can you use instead of Polish sausage in a recipe?
Use another smoked pork sausage with a firm texture, such as smoked kielbasa, and add garlic or marjoram if the replacement is more mildly seasoned. For a less smoky result, use fresh pork sausage and cook it through.
Is Polish sausage the same as kielbasa?
Kielbasa is the Polish word for sausage, and English speakers often use it for Polish-style smoked sausage. Products sold under either name can differ in meat, seasoning and whether they are cooked, so check the package before serving.
