- Preparation: 5 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (285 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Dairy-free, Low carb
- Contains: beef, gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 180 g Blood sausage
- 50 g Onions, raw
- 50 g Apples, raw
- 5 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Prick the kaszanka (blood and groat sausage) a few times, or slice it about 1.5 cm thick.
- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the kaszanka over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning, until the skin is crisp and it's heated all the way through (it's a fully cooked sausage, so this is about reheating it piping hot, not cooking it from raw).
- Meanwhile, fry the sliced onion and apple in the same pan alongside or afterwards, until soft and golden.
- Serve the kaszanka topped with the fried onion and apple, with bread on the side.
