About Blood Sausage (Kaszanka)

Anna shares fried kaszanka with onions among the preparations passed through her Polish family. Cooked blood-sausage links are removed from their casings and combined with caramelized onions, with bread at serving.

Butter and vegetable oil enrich the onion base. Salt and pepper complete the seasoning, with mustard and horseradish offered as condiments beside the savoury sausage.

The sausage breaks into a loose mixture among the onions and develops a seared surface in the pan. Bread carries the crumbled filling, making this a substantial open-faced serving.
