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.

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (2 cups)
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted
10 whole allspice, crushed
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 pound packaged sauerkraut, rinsed well and drained

Steps:

  • Cook onion and garlic in oil in a 3 1/2- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally (stir more frequently toward end of cooking), until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Add tomatoes (including juice), brown sugar, salt, and pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally and breaking up tomatoes, 10 minutes. Stir in sauerkraut and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the sauerkraut ferment evenly.
  • Use a clean glass or ceramic container for fermenting the sauerkraut. Avoid using metal containers, as they can react with the sauerkraut and cause it to spoil.
  • Keep the sauerkraut in a cool, dark place during fermentation. The ideal temperature for fermentation is between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Stir the sauerkraut every day during fermentation. This will help to distribute the bacteria evenly and prevent the sauerkraut from developing mold.
  • Ferment the sauerkraut for at least two weeks, but up to six weeks. The longer the sauerkraut ferments, the more sour it will become.
  • Once the sauerkraut is fermented, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to six months.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour sauerkraut is a delicious and healthy fermented food that is easy to make at home. By following these tips, you can make a delicious batch of sauerkraut that you and your family will enjoy.
