Ingredients & Their Roles
2 kielbasa sausages: The star ingredient. Their natural smoky flavor provides the perfect base for the sweet glaze. You can use traditional pork kielbasa or turkey kielbasa for a lighter option.
1 cup brown sugar: This is what creates the signature candied coating. It melts and caramelizes in the oven, forming a sticky, glossy glaze.
1/2 cup ketchup: Adds a subtle tang and acidity that balances the sweetness, preventing the dish from becoming overly sugary.
1/4 cup prepared horseradish: Provides a gentle kick and depth. Once baked, it mellows into a warm, savory heat that enhances the overall flavor profile.
Optional garnish – chopped parsley: Adds freshness and a pop of color for presentation.
