Food / favorite polish recipes? [65]
MamaCat!
You are too funny! I am from Toledo, OH too, now live out west, and... I, like you, and on an eternal quest for "REAL" kielbasa.I am not really sure what that weird, pinkish-redish, uber-ground, rubbery plastic "sausage" they try to pass off as kielbasa is???!!! YUCK!!! My dear husband finally got to taste REAL kielbasa a few years ago and the stuff in the plastic wrapper in the lunch meat section has not crossed his mind since.
I'll try to see if my mom or one of my aunts has the recipe my grandparents used to make their kielbasa. Have you tried to find any ethnic markets online? I am thinking about finding one and ordering some, as no holiday should be without a good heaping portion of true polish kielbasa!
What part of the "West" do you live in? I am in Colorado.

P.S. How does everyone cook their Kielbasa?
I cook mine in a frying pan with a decent amount of water in the bottom. When its just about done, the water has pretty much cooked off, I take off the lid and brown the sausage. Sometimes I cut it up just before I brown it and other times I cut it up afterward.
P.P.S. I am also on an eternal quest for a good chili dog, like the one's from Neti's or Jan's. Can anyone help me with that?

Hi. I found this website looking for a good authentic recipe for making kielbasa. I'm from the Toledo, Ohio area originally, but living out west now, and can't find real kielbasa. I know recipes vary from area to area, so if there's anyone out there who would be familiar with recipes from the Hamtramk area of Michigan, or NW Ohio, I would sure love to hear from you.
