Baked sauerkraut with apples and brown sugar is a classic dish that combines sweet, sour, and savory flavors. It's a perfect side dish for pork or poultry, or it can be served as a main course with a side of mashed potatoes or spaetzle. The key to making this dish is to use good-quality sauerkraut and apples. Look for sauerkraut that is firm and not too sour. And choose apples that are tart and hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.

BAKED SAUERKRAUT WITH APPLES
This German recipe is borrowed (with a tweak) from Recipes4us.co.uk. The original recipe calls for 120ml beef stock, but I wanted a vegetarian version. You could revert to the beef stock or replace my suggested vegetable stock with a small amount (say ½ teaspoon) of Marmite or Vegemite dissolved in 120ml of very hot water. Recipe posted for Zaar World Tour 2005.
