Step 1
Score the kielbasa skin in a crosshatch pattern with a knife. Slice red onion thin and seed the hot pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add kielbasa and sear 4 minutes, turning to char all sides.
Step 3
Push kielbasa to the side. Add onion and whole garlic cloves; sauté 5 minutes until onion softens and edges blacken.
Step 4
Scatter the hot pepper slices into the pan. Deglaze with white vinegar; toss everything to coat, ~1 minute.
Step 5
Toast rye bread in the skillet, 30 seconds per side until edges crisp. Spread mustard on each slice.
Step 6
Divide kielbasa between two sandwiches; top with caramelized onion, pepper, and roasted garlic. Serve immediately.
