🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 1 pound smoked sausage
• 16 ounces sauerkraut
• 1 large yellow onion

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

2. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

4. Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

5. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

6. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

7. Drain the sauerkraut and rinse it under cold water to reduce its saltiness (optional, based on taste). Add the sauerkraut to the skillet, along with the caraway seeds and paprika. Stir to combine.

8. Pour in the chicken broth and stir well. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.

9. Return the browned sausage to the skillet and stir everything together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

10. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for another 10 minutes to meld the flavors together, stirring occasionally.

11. Serve hot as a standalone dish or with crusty bread or boiled potatoes on the side.
