Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Sauerkraut
- 1 medium Apple
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water to remove excess saltiness, and then drain well.
Peel and chop the apple into small cubes. Dice the onion finely.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the diced apple to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the sauerkraut, brown sugar, white vinegar, caraway seeds, salt, and ground black pepper.
Pour in the water and stir everything together to combine.
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or topping for sausages, pork chops, or roasted vegetables.
