Sauerkraut with Kranjska Sausage

It is said that sauerkraut and Kranjska sausage complement each other beautifully. Usually, we cook them separately and serve them together. This time, however, we decided not to dirty two pots, so we cooked them together in one pot.

Ingredients

  • 3 spoons Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 2 piece Carniolan sausage

  • 700 g Sauerkraut

  • 2 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 2 dl Water

  • 2 piece Spices, bay (leaves)

  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 2 pinch Spices, pepper, black

Steps

  1. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Cut the Kranjska sausage into thick slices. Taste the sauerkraut. If it seems too sour, quickly rinse it in a colander under cold running water.

  2. Heat oil in a pot and sauté the onion until golden brown. Then add the slices of Kranjska sausage and fry everything together for about 2 more minutes. Add the sauerkraut, which we rinsed beforehand if necessary, and the chopped garlic. Fry for another minute while stirring, then pour in water. Add a bay leaf and season with pepper and salt to taste. Once the sauerkraut comes to a boil, reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer until the sauerkraut is completely tender.

  3. Serve the prepared dish on plates. Offer it with homemade bread or fried potatoes.

Advice

Instead of oil, you can use lard, and you can replace water with a broth base. The dish can be enhanced by adding cracklings.
