03 - Incorporate diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic into the skillet. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
04 - Stir in sliced cabbage, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage is wilted and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
05 - Return browned kielbasa to the skillet. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to meld flavors and heat through. Adjust seasoning to taste.
06 - Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot with whole-grain mustard or sour cream as desired.
