SAUERKRAUT AND APPLES



Sauerkraut and Apples image

In the Chesapeake, seafood often finds its way onto the Thanksgiving menu. But in Baltimore, which has a strong eastern European and German immigrant history, the holiday table demands something else. "The absence of sauerkraut when turkey is present, Thanksgiving included, is unthinkable, comparable to potatoes without gravy or crisp French fries without ketchup," wrote John Shields, the chef and owner of Gertrude's restaurant in Baltimore, in his cookbook "Chesapeake Bay Cooking." (Sauerkraut is a mainstay well beyond Thanksgiving; Gertrude's hosts an annual Krautfest in January.) Traditionally, homemakers fermented the cabbage in earthenware crocks in their cellars, but these days the fresh stuff is available to buy. On Thanksgiving, it's often simply served as a side, or incorporated into dishes like this, in which the sauerkraut is braised in beer with bacon and apples.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons butter
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

2 pheasants, 2 pounds each cleaned weight, preferably trussed, with necks and hearts
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 pound fatback, cut into 1/4-inch cubes, about 1/2 cup
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 whole cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup dry white wine

Browning time is 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sauerkraut. Look for sauerkraut that is made with white cabbage and has a tangy, sour flavor. Avoid sauerkraut that is made with red cabbage, as it can be bitter.
  • Rinse the sauerkraut thoroughly before using. This will help to remove any excess salt and sourness.
  • Use a variety of apples. Different apples will give your sauerkraut different flavors. For a tart flavor, use Granny Smith apples. For a sweeter flavor, use Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples.
  • Don't overcook the sauerkraut. Overcooked sauerkraut will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Serve the sauerkraut hot or cold. Sauerkraut can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It can also be used as a topping for sandwiches or hot dogs.

Conclusion:

Riesling braised sauerkraut and apples is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The sauerkraut is tangy and sour, while the apples are sweet and crisp. The riesling wine adds a subtle sweetness and complexity to the dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
