Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Sauerkraut
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 100 milliliters Chicken stock
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 small Apple (optional)
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion. If using apple, core and finely dice it.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Stir in the caraway seeds and cook for an additional 1 minute to release their aroma.
Drain the sauerkraut slightly if it's too wet, then add it to the pan. Stir to combine.
Pour in the chicken stock and stir. If using apple, add the diced apple at this stage.
Season with salt, black pepper, and brown sugar. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and let the mixture cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a side dish or as an accompaniment to your favorite main courses.
