Cabbage with Sausages (Choucroute Garnie or Sauerkraut with Sausages)
My mother’s German ancestry must have been the reason why she made choucroute fairly often. Over the years I maintained the tradition. This recipe is based on hers.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put the juniper berries, peppercorns, cloves, allspice and bay leaves in a cheesecloth bag and tie it up in order to make a bouquet garni. Put it aside.
- 2
Remove any damaged or browned outer leaves from the cabbage and give the head a thorough rinsing under cold water. Remove the two outer leaves and discard the ribbing. Place the head of cabbage on a cutting board. With a chef’s knife, cut in half lengthwise, all the way through the core.
- 3
Cut into the core at an angle where the stem meets the leaves of the cabbage, and remove it from each half. Place the halves, cut side down, on the cutting board. Starting at the end opposite the stem, cut crosswise from top to bottom into thin slices. Set aside.
- 4
Heat heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon and sauté for 5 minutes. Add bratwurst and sauté until bacon is crisp and bratwurst is brown, about 10 minutes. Place on bowl and set aside.
- 5
Preheat oven to 350F.
- 6
Add onions and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add apples and sauté for 3 minutes.
- 7
Add wine, scrape bottom and let alcohol evaporate for a minute.
- 8
Add bouquet garni, all meats, and salt.
- 9
Mix vinegar and mustard. And add to pot. Add broth or water. Bring to a boil.
- 10
When boiling, add cabbage, cover choucroute and place in oven. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, carefully mixing every 1/2 hour.
- 11
One hour after placing the choucroute in the oven, cook potatoes in pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 18 minutes. Drain and cut potatoes in half. Dip cut sides into parsley.

German Stewed Sauerkraut with Sausages German Stewed Sauerkraut with Sausages
Ever get the sauerkraut in packages or jars at the store? Besides being, well, sour, it doesn't really have much flavor. In Germany, rather than eating as-is, we often stew or braise sauerkraut wine with German spices like caraway, juniper berries and cloves. Cooking also softens the texture. This recipe is straight from Germany from my mom, which I LOVE with my favorite German sausages! Even better if you have your own homemade sauerkraut :)

Braised Pork & Sauerkraut Braised Pork & Sauerkraut
An easy, slow-cooked meal. Adding the sauerkraut to the pork provides a necessary braising liquid. The addition of the pear (or an apple) gives it a slight touch of sweetness. It’s German comfort food at its best.

Sig's German Reibekuchen with Sauerkraut Sig's German Reibekuchen with Sauerkraut
These little cakes are a typical dish in the region where I come from in Germany, but are eaten all over Germany. Where I live we normally serve apple marmalade, apple sauce or add a slice of thick bacon in the middle when baking them. Often we serve them with Sauerkraut on the side. Here I have added Sauerkraut to the grated potatoes. They turned out beautifully well , I served them with another typical German food ,Quark . Quark is similar to creme fraiche or a thick set and drained yoghurt. I finished the meal of with smoked salmon and prawns.

Krautkrapfen is a German dish made by rolling up sauerkraut or sautéed cabbage into a noodle dough, then braising it in hot broth. Adding some caraway seeds and bacon is the secret to making this extra delicious ;) If you have homemade sauerkraut, it will taste even better.It's very filling and goes well with light sides or salads. One of my most favorite German dishes of all time. I hope you'll give it at ry.This particular recipe is from southern Germany. Depending on the recipe, it might be baked in the oven too! -
California Farm Fresh 3 day Sauerkraut California Farm Fresh 3 day Sauerkraut
White, green or red cabbage, this method lets you taste your fresh sauerkraut after three days, instead of two weeks. I use the wooden hammer to speed up the fermentation. Stays fresh for half a year by using white wine instead of vinegar, the fresh flavor shines through better. I have a half gallon brown crock for one cabbage, a gallon stone pot for two cabbages. If you use glass, make sure it stays in the dark to prevent discoloration. -
Polish Fresh Sausage and Sauerkraut on a sub roll Polish Fresh Sausage and Sauerkraut on a sub roll
Our family would have these links for dinner without the brat rolls; served with Sauerkraut as a side... so I revised it! So I can put it upon a brat roll instead.... it has the same family flavor...instead of being on a plate; it's on a brat roll.I hope you enjoy it as much as I do... Try your own variation...Have fun with it!![[jerr]](https://img-global.cpcdn.com/users/e57c37c74a40dc67/16x16cq50/avatar.jpg "[jerr]")
