Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Italian sausage links
- 2 cups Sauerkraut
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the Italian sausage links and brown them on all sides, about 6-8 minutes total. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the sauerkraut to the skillet and stir to combine. Sprinkle the paprika and caraway seeds over the sauerkraut and mix well.
Pour in the chicken stock and apple cider vinegar, stirring to deglaze the skillet and incorporate the flavors.
Return the browned sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the sauerkraut mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are fully cooked and the sauerkraut is tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread or boiled potatoes for a complete meal.
