Yield Makes 4 to 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into thin slices (3 cups)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 (12-oz) bottle beer
1 lb smoked kielbasa, cut into 2-inch-long pieces
1 medium head cabbage (2 1/2 lb), halved lengthwise, then cut into 2-inch-thick wedges
3/4 lb medium red potatoes (about 4), quartered
Accompaniment: hot mustard

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, then add onion, sugar, and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is golden, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in beer, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pot, then add kielbasa, cabbage, and potatoes and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender, about 1 hour. Transfer kielbasa and vegetables to a large platter, discarding remaining liquid if desired.
