Sauerkraut recipe- The Tirolean way Recipe
To prepare Sauerkraut is not a big deal, actually very simple. I love to eat Sauerkraut for its unique flavours. Especially with some big fat grilled sausages and Knödel a must. You can buy it too in groceries in the western world, but I doubt anywhere else. I haven't found any to buy here around and I am really starving for the taste of Sauerkraut. Unluckily, I can't make any at home right now, I would need to find a place to buy a crock pot for the fermentation. The crock pot should be available in the market not too expensive too, so grab one if you don't have one lying around at home and try out my Sauerkraut making technique.
Ingredients
- 500 gms Sauerkraut
- 1 big Onion - slices
- 1-2 bay leaves
- 2-3 Juniper berries
- few Pepper Balls
- 1/2 Tbs Cumin seeds
- Maggie Cube beef
- Optional - Bacon pieces
Directions
- Begin by frying the onions slices in little Vegetable Oil till glossy pink. Add the Sauerkraut, season with all the above mentioned spices (and bacon) and add little water just enough so it won't burn. Cook the whole mix on a small flame for around 20-30 mins, covered first and then uncovered the last minutes of cooking.
- Ready to be served with grilled Sausages and Potato Knödel. Suited are Knacker or Frankfurter Sausages. I ll post a separate Knödel recipe surely in the future here @ Masala Herb.
- Did you know that commercial available Sauerkraut in supermarkets is most of the time not fermented but treated with vinegar and therefore not Probiotic.
- Keep in mind, everything good and healthy takes it's time and definitely a must for a healthy complete diet.
