Slice onions thin and fry them in a sauce pan until translucent.

Add drained sauerkraut and the spices. Sauté for a 3-4 minutes.

Add the broth and bring to a boil. Turn to low, cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes until sauerkraut is soft. Make sure you check the level of liquid a few times during the cooking to make sure it hasn't cooked away completely. Add a little water if too dry.

Meanwhile make the Spätzle. You can use packaged one or use my recipe here to make it homemade: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/279900-homemade-spatzle

Once sauerkraut is ready and Spätzle is cooked, add 1/4 cup broth to the sauerkraut and bring to a simmer again. Remove the cloves, bay leaf and juniper berries and discard.

Add the drained Spätzle to the sauerkraut and stir until well mixed.

Dish out krautspätzle into serving dishes and top with the fried onions and chopped parsley. Sprinkle pepper to taste.
