Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the kielbasa and cook until browned, about 7 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and cook until almost translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add the clams, red pepper flakes, sauerkraut, and beer. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with the lid and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium-low and gently boil until the clams have opened.
Add the mustard and parsley and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
Tip: Discard any clams that do not open during cooking. Use your favorite sausage if you can’t find kielbasa.
