FRIED SAUERKRAUT CAKES WITH KIELBASA



Fried Sauerkraut Cakes With Kielbasa image

This is similar to a potato pancake in texture. The recipe was handed down to me by a local chef. This meal is best served with buttered noodles or mashed potatoes. I recommend serving this dish with a side of warm applesauce or recipe #3057 Daisy Mae's Fried Apples.

Time 55m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 pound (about 3 cups) fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound smoked kielbasa, cut on the bias into eight 2-inch long pieces
1 cup prepared sauerkraut
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Turn up four edges of a large piece of foil to make a rectangular tray (about 12 by 5 inches) for the sauerkraut; set aside
  • On one side of the baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and sprinkle with some salt and pepper; spread the potatoes into an even layer. Place the kielbasa on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving an empty place in the center for the foil tray. Brush the kielbasa with the remaining olive oil. Roast until the kielbasa begins to brown in spots and the potatoes are almost completely tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Toss the sauerkraut with the caraway seeds and spread into an even layer in the prepared foil baking tray. Place the foil tray in the center of the baking sheet.

Divide sausage and vegetables between two plates and enjoy.

KIELBASA AND FRIED BUTTERED SAUERKRAUT



Kielbasa and fried buttered sauerkraut image

Add some cornbread and you have one easy weeknight meal. Kielbasa and sauerkraut are great together, but adding the butter makes this recipe extra special. Browning the butter and sauerkraut adds tons of flavor. Make sure to let it get browned ... that's where the flavor is.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pkg kielbasa
1 can(s) sauerkraut, 28 oz.
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
3 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Use a large skillet. Put the butter in and melt it around the pan. When it starts to sizzle put in the whole can of sauerkraut.
  • 2. While the sauerkraut is cooking, cut up the kielbasa into 1 inch slices. Put aside.
  • 3. Stir the sauerkraut. Once it starts turning brown add the kielbasa.
  • 4. Continue to stir, add the spices, and stir some more. The sauerkraut should be golden brown with some darkened areas. Let it cook and stir often (sauerkraut burns easily, so you have to watch it. You only want a little bit darkened)
  • 5. Once everything is mixed and the sauerkraut is golden brown turn off the heat and let it sit until the burner is cool. (This will darken the sauerkraut further.) Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sauerkraut. Fresh sauerkraut is best for this recipe, but you can also use canned sauerkraut. If using canned sauerkraut, be sure to rinse it well before using.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the sauerkraut. This will help the cakes to hold together better.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the cakes. Common spices used in sauerkraut cakes include caraway seeds, dill, and paprika. You can also add your own favorite spices.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cakes. They should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still tender on the inside.
  • Serve the cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Common dipping sauces for sauerkraut cakes include sour cream, ketchup, and mustard.

Conclusion:

Sauerkraut cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy meal, or as a side dish for a larger meal. With a variety of spices and dipping sauces to choose from, there is sure to be a sauerkraut cake recipe that everyone will enjoy.
