    How to Make Savory Seared Kielbasa with Spicy Mustard Dip

    1. Slice the Kielbasa

    Take the smoked kielbasa and slice it diagonally into ½-inch thick pieces. This angle not only makes the slices visually appealing but also maximizes the surface area for browning, which enhances the savory flavors.

    2. Sear the Kielbasa

    Heat 2 tablespoons of good olive oil in a medium (10 to 11-inch) sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, indicating that it’s hot enough, add the kielbasa slices. Cook them for about 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally until they are nicely browned on both sides. The edges should turn a beautiful golden-brown.

    3. Prepare the Spicy Mustard Dip

    While the kielbasa is cooking, in a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup of good mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of whole-grain mustard, and 1 teaspoon of prepared horseradish. Season it with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

    4. Serve

    Once the kielbasa is seared to perfection, serve it hot with small wooden skewers for easy dipping. Place the mustard sauce in a dish alongside the kielbasa. Enjoy this savory treat with friends and family.

    Variations

    Andouille Sausage with Remoulade Sauce

    Using the same searing technique, switch out the kielbasa for Andouille sausage, which has a Cajun flair. Pair it with a remoulade sauce—a Louisiana condiment made with mayonnaise, mustard, garlic, paprika, and Cajun seasoning.

    Bratwurst with Beer Cheese Dip

    Perfect for Oktoberfest, sear some bratwursts and serve them with a warm beer cheese dip, using a sharp cheddar and your favorite beer.

    Chorizo with Chipotle Aioli

    Give it a Mexican twist by searing chorizo and serving it with a spicy chipotle aioli, made with mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, and garlic.

    Grilling

    For a smoky flavor, grill the kielabasa outdoors or on a stovetop grill pan instead of searing it in a skillet.

    Asian-Style Sausage with Soy-Sesame Dip

    Create an Asian-inspired dish by marinating the sausage in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic before searing. Serve it with a dip made of soy sauce, sesame oil, and a hint of brown sugar.
