Ingredients

• 4 kielbasa sausages (approximately 12-16 ounces total)
• olive oil
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 tsp onion powder (the original recipe called for 1/2 yellow onion)
• 3 Tbsp brown sugar, firmly packed
• 4 cups kohlrabi, peeled and sliced 1/4" thick (about 4-6 small kohlrabi)
• 1 tsp caraway seeds
• 6 cloves garlic
• 1 red bell pepper, stepped, seeded, and sliced into 2" strips
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 cup lager
• 4 tsp sour cream
• 2 tsp coarse-grain mustard

Instructions

1. Sear the sausages by heating olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Brown on all sides then remove and set aside.
2. Lower heat to medium and melt butter. If using onion, add that and cook 5-7 minutes until it begins to brown. Then, add sugar, kohlrabi, and caraway (add onion powder here if you're using that) and saute for 3 minutes.
3. Add garlic, bell pepper, salt, and pepper flakes. Sauté for 2 minutes.
4. Return sausages to the pan and add the beer.
5. Simmer, covered, over low heat for 20 minutes
6. Remove lid and cook for 5 more minutes to reduce liquid
7. Add sour cream and mustard and stir to combine
