Ingredients

  • pieces Bacon

Sauerkraut

  • 1.5 spoons Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 0.5 piece Onion, raw

  • 600 g Sauerkraut

  • pieces Spices, pepper, black

  • 2 piece Spices, bay (leaves)

  • pieces Water

  • pieces Salt, table

Steps

  1. Peel and finely chop the onion. 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 translucent. Add the sauerkraut, bay leaf, and juniper berries, and mix everything well. Pour in a little water and bring the contents to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer the sauerkraut until it is completely softened (about 30 minutes). Add more water if needed.

  3. Add the sausages to the pot and pour in enough lukewarm water to almost fully cover them. Once the water boils, cook the sausages over low heat for 15 minutes.

  4. Once the sausages are cooked, brown them golden on both sides in heated oil. Season the cooked sauerkraut with pepper and salt to taste.

  5. Serve the browned sausages and sauerkraut on plates. Pair the dish with your chosen side.
