Sweet Kielbasa Mushroom Fry-up

Ingredients

1/2 - 1 small onion, diced                                2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 Package mushrooms, sliced*                      1 kielbasa (your choice on variety), sliced**

1/4 cup light brown sugar                              1 bottle ale ***

2 Tbsp Olive Oil                                              1-2 Tbsp Flour

Optional

Peas / Diced Asparagus                                 Rice / Egg Noodles

Procedure

1. Mix Ale & Brown Sugar (carefully, sugar gives the carbonation something to form around)
   
2. Add olive oil to high-sided frying pan or wok over medium heat
3. Add onions and garlic, cook until garlic is golden brown and/or onions are clear
4. Add mushrooms and cook until they are giving off their own moisture
5. Add Kielbasa and slowly stir-fry, letting it get a little brown on the side of the chips
6. Add Ale & Sugar mixture, stirring thoroughly.  Cover and reduce heat, let it come to a simmer
7. Slowly sprinkle flour on top and then stir in - if you just plop it in there expect to bite a lovely chunk of flour while eating
8. If adding any other vegetables, add now, cover and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes

Best served over rice or egg noodles - be careful not to let sauce reduce too much

*     Generally I prefer to snap mushrooms in half while washing

**   Generally I halve the kielbase lengthwise, then cut each halve into 'chips' of Kielbasa

*** Feel free to use lager, just my experience that it tends to be too sweet, no flavour balance
