The smell of fresh sauerkraut in the kitchen makes this simple and inexpensive meal feel special. The veggies stay crunchy in the mash. This recipe takes an extra 20 minutes to make the fresh sauerkraut from scratch, but still a quick meal, under one hour. Served with sweet and sour gravy made from cooking juices.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
