Ingredients

  • 2 links (about 6 inches each) Hungarian sült kolbász (smoked pork sausage), about 12 oz
  • 3 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 1 loaf, cut into thick slices crusty bread (rye or white)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Score the sausage skin in a crosshatch pattern with a sharp knife, cutting only through the casing.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 60 seconds.

  3. 3

    Place sausages in the pan and don't move them — let them char and develop a dark crust, 4–5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Turn sausages once and char the other side until the casing is dark and crackly, another 4–5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and rest 1 minute, then slice on a diagonal if desired.

  6. 6

    Serve with mustard, bread, and a pinch of black pepper on top.
