1. You can use beef, pork, or your favorite sausage. However, if using beef, pork, or sausage, it is crucial the it be cooked first. Polish sausage (kielbasa), is usually sold in precooked form. Still, make sure that it is precooked when preparing this recipe.
INGREDIENTS
- Celery bunch, chopped (an entire medium to large-size bunch)
- Onion chopped (yellow, red, but no sweet)
- Medium size potatoes, peeled and cubed (enough for about 4-6 servings or portions)
- Salt
- Mrs Dash
- Olive oil, unless you have to sauté sausage, beef, pork, etc. at high heat
- Black olives, cut in 3rd’s
- Apple cider vinegar
- Any other spices you may like
2 To avoid the strong smell created when preparing this dish, it is a good idea to prepare it outdoors, or at least to fry it with the kitchen exhaust fan at high speed. If you have to sauté any non-precooked beef, pork, and so on, use avocado oil, or a light olive oil thats designed for sautéing. You can use canola oil, but most of these canola blends derive from GMO corn. However, I am careful to not overheat the oil and still use olive oil since the veggies and sausage contain water. All I do is to not "sear" the sausage and veggies, just to cook them briskly, but not hot enough to overheat the oil.
3. Don’t add salt unless the veggies/sausage mixture needs salt. And keep in mind that the potatoes will need a little salt. Just avoid making it too salty, and be aware that it is the vinegar, spices, and oil that imparts a good flavor. Add salt as needed at the end, when the dish is served.
PREPARATION: Assuming that the beef, or sausage, etc. is precooked, start by boiling the cubed potatoes. These should be done and ready to serve by the time the veggies (above) are done. In a frying pan, start sautéing the sausage (or beef), add the celery first, onion second, olives, Mrs Dash, and any other spices you like.
Fry fast and uncovered until you believe the veggies are just a tiny bit crunchy, but not overcooked. Then pour-in 3-5 tablespoons of vinegar into the pan, and let it fry a few more seconds (add a little more olive oil, too). Put portions of the boiled and hot potatoes in bowls or plates, and then scoop or spoon portions of the fried veggies-including some of the juices/oil-from the frying pan, over the potatoes. This is the completed dish.
