ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND SAUERKRAUT



Italian Sausage and Sauerkraut image

I love Italian Sausage and I love Sauerkraut. I thought I would cook the two together and see how it would turn out. It was really good. Sauerkraut can tend to be a little "gassy" so I always put beer in it to neutralize the acidity in the sauerkraut. It seems to do the trick for me. Sometimes draining and rinsing the sauerkraut just isn't enough. Beer also gives the sauerkraut a good flavor. The pears give it a little bit of a sweetness. Cooking time is approximate since some people may want to cook it longer than the suggested 30 minutes. This can serve either 2 or 4 people depending on how many sausages and how much sauerkraut each person may want.

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons cooking oil
4 Italian sausages (I use Isernios brand)
16 ounces sauerkraut
1 cup beer (I use American beer)
1 cup diced canned pears

Steps:

  • Cover the bottom of a large skillet with the oil.
  • Add the sausages and brown them.
  • Drain and rinse the sauerkraut (optional).
  • Add the sauerkraut to the skillet, using a fork to distribute it evenly around and on top of the sausages.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Use a high-quality Italian sausage for the best flavor. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, ground pork and seasoned with traditional Italian herbs and spices.
  • Brown the sausage properly: Browning the sausage before adding it to the sauerkraut helps to develop its flavor and add depth to the dish. Be sure to brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until it is cooked through.
  • Use a good quality sauerkraut: The sauerkraut is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a sauerkraut that is made with fresh cabbage and has a tangy, slightly sour flavor.
  • Add some extra flavor: Feel free to add some extra flavor to the dish by adding other ingredients such as onions, garlic, apples, or caraway seeds.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Italian sausage and sauerkraut can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
