This dish has German roots, but is widely prepared in Switzerland. I'm not sure exactly where I found this recipe,but it's been DH and grandson's favorite deer hunting camp meal for many years. It cooks in one skillet so clean up is minimal.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 tablespoons plus 3 teaspoons vegetable oil, such as grapeseed, divided
1 pound baby bok choy, heads trimmed and quartered lengthwise
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 Honeycrisp or Gala apple, sliced into 1/4-inch wedges
8 links fresh sausage (about 2 pounds), such as hot or sweet Italian sausage
2 1/2 cups prepared sauerkraut, drained
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Grainy Dijon mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the caraway seeds until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape out and reserve seeds.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Working in two to three batches, sear bok choy on all sides until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per cut side. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper to each batch, and 1 teaspoon oil to sear each subsequent batch of bok choy.
  • Add 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet and sauté apples with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until softened but still holding their shape, 5 to 7 minutes. Reserve apples.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and sear sausages on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Add toasted caraway seeds, sauerkraut, and broth. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium, cover the skillet, and simmer until sausages are cooked through (150°F for pork sausages, 160°F for poultry sausages), about 10 minutes. Remove cover and fold in reserved bok choy, apples, vinegar, and butter. Cook, tossing, until some of the liquid has evaporated and the bok choy and apples are warm, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve with mustard for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Use a high-quality sausage that is flavorful and has a good fat content. This will help to keep the dish moist and flavorful.
  • Brown the sausage properly: Browning the sausage will help to develop its flavor and give it a crispy texture. Be sure to cook the sausage over medium heat so that it has time to brown evenly.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different types of apples will give the dish different flavors and textures. For a sweeter dish, use sweeter apples such as Honeycrisp or Fuji. For a more tart dish, use tarter apples such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
  • Don't overcook the sauerkraut: Sauerkraut is a fermented food, and overcooking it can make it taste sour and unpleasant. Cook the sauerkraut just until it is heated through, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Sausage and sauerkraut is a hearty and flavorful dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Sausage and sauerkraut is a classic German dish that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
