1. Sear the Kielbasa
Take a sharp knife and slice the kielbasa diagonally into ½ inch thick pieces. Heat a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat and add two tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the sliced kielbasa in the pan. Sear for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned on both sides.
2. Prepare the Mustard Dip
While the kielbasa is cooking, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and prepared horseradish. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
3. Serve
Arrange the seared kielbasa on a serving dish and place the mustard dip alongside. Provide small wooden skewers for easy serving.
Opt for high-quality sausage from a reputable butcher or market, with a good mix of pork and beef for richer flavor.
Mix different types of mustard and add honey, apple cider vinegar, cayenne, and fresh herbs like dill or parsley to create a complex and balanced dip.
Grill the kielbasa over medium heat to add a smoky char and caramelized crust, or roast slices in the oven with a drizzle of oil for a rich flavor.
Let the kielbasa come to room temperature before cooking, and score the sausage lightly to enhance cooking and presentation.
Adjust the mustard dip's sweetness, tanginess, or spiciness according to the kielbasa's flavor profile for a complementary pairing.
