What's for dinner? Sausage kapusta recipe

I made this quite a while ago. It was SO good! Sounds gross, but it really is flavorful.

1 lb smoked or Polish sausage, sliced

1 large jar or bag sauerkraut

1 cup yellow split peas, soaked overnight and drained

Add everything to a large Dutch oven or pot; cover with water. Simmer til peas are tender, about 2 hours, stirring often.

It looks good to me, but I couldn't eat it, way too much salt in that.

Salt schmalt.

Too much sodium leads to high blood pressure which leads to heart disease. A few years ago, I almost landed in the hospital with very serious, painful infection in my legs because I ate too many ham sandwiches with potato chips and other salty stuff. I guess some people can handle the salt, I can't.

Oh man! I didn't know you had a salt sensitivity!

I don't for overly salted stuff, other than tomatoes.

I would love it. My husband would hate it. I can't even put sauerkraut in the refrigerator. If he sees it, he insists everything tastes like it. He refuses to eat anything that he even thinks has come in contact with sauerkraut.
