Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 to 1 1/2 lb precooked sausages such as bratwurst or knockwurst (4 to 6)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
2 Turkish bay leaves or 1 California
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 lb sauerkraut, rinsed well and drained
1 3/4 cups unfiltered apple cider
1 tablespoon sugar
Accompaniment: grainy mustard

Steps:

  • Prick sausages several times with the tip of a small knife. Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown sausages, turning occasionally, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons butter to skillet along with onion, bay leaves, caraway seeds, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in sauerkraut, cider, and sugar, then nestle sausages into mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 20 minutes.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover sauerkraut. I always have a jar of sauerkraut in my fridge, so I'm always looking for new ways to use it.
