My family's Kielbasa recipe, one of the best Polish sausages.

Ойын-сауық

This kielbasa recipe was written down by my grandpa in 1966 (though it has been in the family longer) and there are three main processes needed in order to make Kielbasa, #1 is combining the spices and meat, #2 is stuffing the kielbasa into casings, and #3 is smoking the kielbasa. Once you break it down, it's really not that hard to do.

That's not enough to form a sweeping opinion. The fact that the one sausage you tried wasn't up to your standards doesn't mean that more authentic Polish Kielbasa isn't available there, and no American has ever tasted it before.

    I'm from Poland and I make kiełbasa by myself. I have to admit that you do it professionally and take care of the details. 👍 Kiełbasa in Poland has a different composition depending on the region. There are many recipes for traditional white kiełbasa, many for smoked kiełbasa, plenty for thick, steamed... Good job. Let Polish kiełbasa go into the world. 😁

    Personally, I prefer larger pieces of meat in my kiełbasa, which is why I grind fat or jowl finely, while the meat on larger holes. With thick sausage, I only cut part of the meat into cubes to get really large pieces, or I use a meat shaker that cuts meat into large bites.

    I'm from rural north-eastern Czechia, our culture and Polish culture are similar and even more intertwined here. Kielbasa, or as we call it - klobása is hands down my no. 1 favorite meat product and I can tell you got it just right. Even the marjoram, which I feel is way too underrated and underappreciated outside of Europe. I'm so happy you're putting this food into the spotlight. People deserve some good kielbasa on their plates.

    This is just amazing. I'm a Pole from a small rural town. My parents used to chip in with some neighbors to buy a pig an hire a butcher, who would, over the course of few days, do all kinds of stuff out of the whole piggy. The amazing bacon, juicy liver, the dried and/or the smoked kielbasa (which looks AMAZINGLY similar to the one in the video, both inside and outside). Great flavors, hard to find. Its just great that you guys are doing it over the ocean. Do not loose the recipe, I dare you! Keep on the good work and I wish all the best to you and your family!

    A note from Polish Kiełbasa maker. We usually separate the meat into 2 or 3 categories so fat or very fatty parts and beef are minced using small 2-3 milimetr holes, full muscle without any fat are minced using 8-12mm holes, the rest will go through 5-6mm holes. Regarding the water if you are new to kiełbasa making it would be usually 1:10 ration i.e. 100 millilitres for each 1 kilogram of meat The key to your favorite kiełbasa is the spice mix, so basically the whole process is exactly the same but you add different spices for example for Ester we add salt, pepper, marjoram and smoke only half of them and the rest is scald in hot water (70C 158F until internal temp is 63C 145F), for Christmas we add salt, pepper, garlic, juniper seeds and nutmeg and smoke all of it :)

    I have made a lot of sausage, Salmon sausage, hot links, and everyone's favorite Chicken pesto sausage with artichoke hearts. I think I'm gonna try this one. I do it all with a KItchen Aide meat grinder attachment and sausage stuffer kit. It's a bit of work, but oh so good!

    I'm half-Hungarian and sausage is called "Kolbasz" in Hungarian. Very similar sounding. The Hungarian smoked sausage typically has paprika in it but apart from that it's not too different. I've made my own (I use a Bradley smoker so nothing like your fantastic smokehouse) but I'm definitely going to try your recipe as we love Polish sausage too. Thanks for sharing!

    Hey, my Hungarian brother. Kolbasz and kiełbasa are similar, because Poland and Hungary were always together. There is a saying, that everyone in Poland and Hungary learns as a small child and it goes: Polak Węgier dwa bratanki, I do szabli i do szklanki Lengyel, magyar - két jó barát, Együtt harcol, s issza borát Much love from Poland.

    I grew up in a Polish neighborhood in fact out of the 10 guys that I hung around with I was the only one that wasn't polish. ( ☘ ) I cannot speak Polish but I understand quite a bit and I know hundreds and hundreds of polish words and phrases . I absolutely love kielbasa but I am very fussy with the flavor of it from different places . Every place makes it different and there was no such thing as a good commercial polish sausage . Things like Hillshire Farms are total garbage . I think it's brilliant that you broke down the recipe into percents. That makes it so much easier to control. Thank you for your video and it looks delicious. I would love to rip a piece of that off and chew on it right now .

    I live outside of Chicago and worked as a tool maker, in that business you have a lot of different nationalities from the old country. I had one friend name Stan when he first came here from your country he works for Wilson meats in Chicago. Around the holidays like you mentioned he and his brother-in-law would work in his basement and make sausage. Brag all his equipment was stainless steel a lot of it they made. When they would check out the shoulders they would always get the best meat never grizzle or broken bones in their sausage. He didn’t sell sausage for money but he would sell me at cost a couple links and it was the best. I kept one sausage above the sink slice off a couple pieces every day it is such a good sausage it wouldn’t go bad it would dry out kind a like a pepperoni. Chicago has so many different good ethnic foods too bad the rest of the town is going down with the murder rate in the people running this town for 50+ years

    Hungarian wine was sent to Poland to Kraków and local area to store and let the wine age in the sellers (piwnica ) because it was colder in Poland and this helped to make great wine in the middle ages and early Reinescanse. We and the Majars go a long way back.
