Polish Kiełbasa White Sausage (Biała Kielbasa)

Polish White Sausage (Biała Kiełbasa), served at Easter in Poland, is a dish I wait for all year. The key is finding good quality white sausage called biała kiełbasa in Polish. Polish White Sausage is a raw sausage, so it needs to be cooked well. While it can be boiled or fried, I choose to pop it in the oven with some onions and red bell peppers for a lovely hot dish for our family’s Easter feast.

This dish also works well when you have guests or are preparing sausage sandwiches.

If you already love Polish White Sausage or haven’t tried it before, give this recipe a try for an authentic Polish meal at Easter or anytime.
