Ingredients
- 2 tbs butter
- ½ onion or 1 teaspoon onion powder, minced
- 2 garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder, cloves, minced
- 1 oz sauerkraut bag
- 1 Cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ¼ teaspoon caraway seeds Fennel Seeds will work if you can't find caraway seeds
- 1 apple Gala is a good choice) cut into small cubes ( pencil eraser size and peeled, sweet variety
- salt per taste
- black pepper per taste
Instructions
- In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and then add the minced onion and garlic until softened.
- While the onion and garlic are cooking, drain the sauerkraut.
- When the onion and garlic are softened, add the drained sauerkraut, chicken stock, sugar, black pepper, caraway seeds and apple chunks.
- Heat over medium heat until simmering and the dish is heated through.
- Taste and add salt as needed.
Notes
- PRO TIP: This recipe is amped up about 10x by adding some fatty cured meat such as bacon pieces, kielbasa, smoked sausage, cocktail wieners, etc. You can just put them right in the saucepan with the sauerkraut! YUM! Especially great on a cold winter day.
- If you are using onion powder and garlic powder like I am in the video, you will just put the sauerkraut in the pan first, then add the garlic and onion powder. Add the butter as well.
- Caraway seeds aren't always to everyone's liking, however, I recommend you try them in this recipe because they are super tasty!
- Feel free to substitute any other sugar sweetener for the granulated sugar (maple syrup, honey, etc.).
