SAUERKRAUT AND APPLES



Sauerkraut and Apples image

In the Chesapeake, seafood often finds its way onto the Thanksgiving menu. But in Baltimore, which has a strong eastern European and German immigrant history, the holiday table demands something else. "The absence of sauerkraut when turkey is present, Thanksgiving included, is unthinkable, comparable to potatoes without gravy or crisp French fries without ketchup," wrote John Shields, the chef and owner of Gertrude's restaurant in Baltimore, in his cookbook "Chesapeake Bay Cooking." (Sauerkraut is a mainstay well beyond Thanksgiving; Gertrude's hosts an annual Krautfest in January.) Traditionally, homemakers fermented the cabbage in earthenware crocks in their cellars, but these days the fresh stuff is available to buy. On Thanksgiving, it's often simply served as a side, or incorporated into dishes like this, in which the sauerkraut is braised in beer with bacon and apples.

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons butter
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 tart apples, such as Stayman, Pippin, Granny Smith or Jonagold, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
2 pounds sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer (you may substitute apple cider)
Black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring often, until fat has started to render, about 5 minutes.
  • Toss onion and apples in the fat and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in sauerkraut.
  • Add beer and season with pepper and caraway seeds. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover the pot. Reduce heat so mixture is just simmering and cook for 45 minutes. Or transfer the covered pot to a 350-degree oven and bake for 1 hour. Stir and serve hot.

You could revert to the beef stock or replace my suggested vegetable stock with a small amount (say ½ teaspoon) of Marmite or Vegemite dissolved in 120ml of very hot water.

Make and share this Sausage, Sauerkraut & Apples recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Corbin Lee

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 4h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb fresh sauerkraut or 1 lb canned sauerkraut
1 lb smoked sausage (for a low-fat version) or 1 lb smoked turkey sausage (for a low-fat version)
3 tart cooking apples, thinly sliced
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup apple juice or 3/4 cup cider

Steps:

  • Rinse sauerkraut and squeeze dry.
  • Cut sausage into 2-inch pieces.
  • Put 1/2 the sauerkraut in the slow cooker.
  • Add the sausage pieces on top.
  • Continue to layer remaining ingredients in slow cooker in the order listed.
  • Top with remaining sauerkraut.
  • Do not stir the layers.
  • Cover.
  • Cook on high 4 hours, or low 6-7 hours.
  • Stir before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used for sauerkraut, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Look for firm, heavy heads of cabbage with tightly packed leaves.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the cabbage ferment more evenly and quickly. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage.
  • Use a variety of spices: Caraway seeds, juniper berries, and bay leaves are common spices used in sauerkraut. You can also add other spices, such as black peppercorns, coriander seeds, or fennel seeds, to taste.
  • Keep the sauerkraut in a cool, dark place: This will help the fermentation process. You can store the sauerkraut in a crock or a glass jar.
  • Let the sauerkraut ferment for at least 2 weeks: The longer you ferment the sauerkraut, the more sour it will become. You can taste the sauerkraut periodically to see when it has reached your desired level of sourness.

Conclusion:

Sauerkraut is a delicious and healthy food that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a good source of probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that can help improve gut health. Sauerkraut can also be a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, potassium, and iron. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to add flavor and nutrition to your meals, try making your own sauerkraut at home.
