Mustard Hasselback Kielbasa Bites
Delightful finger food made with smoked kielbasa, sliced in a hasselback style, allowing for maximum flavor absorption from a tangy honey mustard mixture.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ring smoked kielbasa meaty texture
- 2 tablespoons mustard tangy flavor
- 1 tablespoon honey adds sweetness
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar provides acidity
- to taste salt and pepper enhances flavor
- as needed Mayonnaise for dipping, creamy texture
- as needed chopped herbs for garnish, optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Place the smoked kielbasa on a cutting board and carefully cut slits at approximately ½-inch intervals, deep enough for flavor but not all the way through.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well until blended into a smooth sauce.
- Brush the mustard mixture generously over the sliced kielbasa, ensuring it seeps into the cuts.
- Place the glazed kielbasa on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
Cooking
- Bake the kielbasa for about 20-25 minutes until heated through and slightly caramelized.
- Once done, allow the kielbasa to cool for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- Arrange the bites on a serving platter and garnish with chopped herbs, if desired. Serve with mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
Notes
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts. Adjust honey and vinegar to taste and serve with various dipping sauces as desired. Let the kielbasa rest briefly after baking for better texture.
