BAVARIAN SAUERKRAUT



Bavarian Sauerkraut image

This recipe has to be the best tasting sauerkraut I've ever had. Traditionally, my family serves pork and sauerkraut every New Year's Day for luck in the coming year. I love cabbage as a general rule and like most sauerkraut recipes, but they can be quite sour depending on how it is prepared. Sadly I don't remember who gave me this recipe and who deserves the credit, since it was pulled from a collection of hand-written recipes I've kept for years. I made it as a side dish for New Year's Day dinner and it was a complete hit! This is certainly not your typical 'sour' sauerkraut recipe.

KNOEPHLA SAUSAGE HOTDISH



Knoephla Sausage Hotdish image

Knoephla are chewy little German dumplings that are super popular in this region, as much of it was settled by German immigrants. Most commonly, knoephla are found in a creamy potato soup, but they also make a great addition to hotdish! This one builds on the German theme with mustard, sauerkraut (which cuts the richness of an otherwise very hearty dish), and a crunchy pretzel topping!

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield one 8-inch square hotdish

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 1/4 cups (420 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for cooking
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 large egg
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1 teaspoon olive oil
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
3/4 pound bulk raw pork sausage (you can use raw sausage links and remove casing too)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup sauerkraut, drained
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, toasted
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1 cup pretzels
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • For the knoephla: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Mix the egg with 1 cup water in a small bowl and add to the dry ingredients. Add the parsley to the mixture. Mix all together and knead until the dough has come together, taking care not to overmix.
  • Place the dough on a floured surface. Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch squares.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the knoephla in 3 or 4 batches, depending on the size of your pot, until cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and add to a large bowl. Toss with the olive oil to prevent the dumplings from sticking and set aside.
  • For the hotdish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add the sausage and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and add to the bowl with the knoephla.
  • In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook until softened. Add the sauerkraut and cook until the mixture has caramelized. Add toasted fennel seeds, salt and pepper. Cook for another minute, then remove the mixture to the bowl with knoephla and sausage.
  • In the same skillet, add the butter and flour and whisk together, stirring up any brown bits at the bottom of the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the milk in four additions, whisking continuously, allowing the mixture to thicken before adding each addition. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Add the knoephla, sausage, onion and kraut mixture to the pot of gravy and mix until combined. Pour into the greased baking dish.
  • Place the pretzels in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to the bag and shake up to coat the pretzels. Top the baking dish with the pretzel crumbs. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Garnish with the parsley before serving.
