Step 1
Slice kielbasa into 3/4-inch thick rounds. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers.

Step 3
Add sliced onions to the same skillet, season with salt and pepper, stir often until deeply golden, ~10 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in caraway seeds (if using) for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add mustard and stir to coat.
