Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams sauerkraut
- 2 medium apple (preferably a sweet variety such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- 120 milliliters apple cider or vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain the sauerkraut and rinse it under cold water if you prefer a milder flavor. Set aside.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Thinly slice the onion.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the apples and cook for another 5 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and caraway seeds (if using) over the onion and apple mixture. Stir well to coat evenly.
Add the drained sauerkraut to the pan. Pour in the apple cider or vegetable broth, and stir everything together.
Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm as a side dish.
