My favorite is still the meal I grew up eating: Pork roast and sauerkraut. I place a bed of rinsed kraut on the bottom of a small roaster or casserole dish then dot it with butter, garlic powder, black pepper and low sodium chicken stock for additional moisture. The pork goes on top. Cover. Last 20 minutes or so I finish it uncovered. Excellent with either Austrian bread dumplings or the ones made from potatoes.
I enjoy adding sauerkraut, sauerkraut juice and a bit of dijon mustard to a soup, like split pea.This is a very good meat-free meal. Thank you for your video.
Growing up my mother would mix her homemade sourkraut with brown sugar and serve it with smoked sausage or casing sausage and mashed potatoes. (place the potatoes on the middle of the plate and make a well and fill the indentation with the juice of the kraut and tgecsaur kraut and place the sauces around it all in one big heap.
I didn't know that it's an actual dish, but I just sort of stumbled into learning how delicious sauerkraut is mixed with mashed potatoes and caramelized onions by accident. Those were the things I happened to prepare that evening, along with some smoked sausages. Absolutely WONDERFUL. My German ancestors must have been speaking to me that night!
My Ukrainian Mother-in-law made Baked Sauerkraut and Sausage, by putting drained sauerkraut in a baking dish, mixing in some brown sugar, placing sausages on top and baking until the sausages are fully cooked. Served with sour cream. Delicious!
@@jasmynjadebauer6326 I think she use Oktoberfest, but I have made this with mild Italian. I think Bratwurst or English Bangers would be ok too. Also, there are tons of recipes online using Kielbasa (Polish sausage) or smoked sausage . The sky's the limit!!!!
i'm ethnic german american. my grandmother was named izetta. i speak german, and make my own kraut. my absolute favorite is red beets with red cabbage. takes about 6 months to ferment, but my God is so good! i keep it simple - no extra spices or whatever. my recipe for kraut is: cabbage, salt, krauthammer, and german sourcery. straight up. i also like kimchee, but the koreans are the asian germans, lol!
Hahahahha! That’s right. But kimchee was mentioned first 😂 thanks for sharing the recipe. I have never heard of something similar before. And thumbs up for making own Sauerkraut!
@Paco it doesn't even take that long. you're making it wrong. you need to get some help with learning how to make it. you need a crock, krauthammer, and german sourcedry (technique) to get that done. 6 weeks should be plenty, but some of the ones i make i have to ferment for 6 months to get them to where i really like them. once i masticate the veg with the krauthammer, i put them in large jars to ferment with a "bubbler" and store in a cool dry place. that stuff you're buying though is gold! that's all you want in there!
@Paco what you're describing really should work. that's pretty much how i do it. the difference being when i mix equal parts beets and red cabbage - which i really like a lot, it takes like, 6 months to ferment, but it comes out really great, and i do like it a lot that way. if you're in the usa, you might try farmhouse. it's in the refrigerated section of the store, and it's fresh and live.
I had made a pot of vegetable soup. When my mother use to make home made vegetable soup she would take any left overs from the fridge and throw them in. I had some sauerkraut and added it. It really changed the flavor of the soup with a nice salty taste. I will be added sauerkraut to my soup in the future.
Oh yum, thanks for sharing. Both my husband's family and mine came from Germany. We make a cold sauerkraut salad with onion celery green pepper carrot pimento. The dressing is oil vinegar sugar mustard seed. We eat it all year round.
Made it this salad just now, tweaked it a bit making the dressing with mustard instead of mustardseeds and added some red pepper as well: I LOVED it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hello i'm from the Netherlands, we have overhere our own tradition called "zuurkoolstamppot" usually served with smoked baconcubes and smoked sausages , but my favourite "sauerkraut" dish is very unusual but very tasteful So here it is: sauerkraut cooked in apple-juice, same amount of cooked white rice, half of that amount of ground beef break-up end fry in a pan, pineapple or rasins and lots of curry-powder all mixed together with pepper and salt to taste
Thank you for these ideas. These dishes look delicious! I was looking for sauerkraut recipes, to incorporate more fermented foods in our diet, but had never really used it and couldn't come up with ideas. This is very helpful!
Guten Abend Marta I always have several cans of Mildessa Weinsuerkraut on hand . My recipe I drain two cans aprox 1650 grams of Mildessa then sauteed the weinkraut in butter till caramelized then I throw in 1sliced sweet onion, then sauteed till soft, I then add 2 cups of apple slices that are sauteed in butter with i/4 tsp of mace . I make this for October Fest and I never have left overs . I serve this with roasted pork shoulder with the rind (scored) and dark Bier. when the pork shoulder is done I put the rind under the broiler till they crackle. Oh, I also make plum kuchen. I am 5th generation Reinen from Schwabenland and the Alsace-Lorraine best wishes Mark
It's good to hear what you think. I used to buy sauerkraut from Polish shops in the UK but it's full of sugar! It's so simple to make, it's a no brainer for me now.
When I was a child my father would rinse the sauerkraut add a couple grated carrots and a sliced onion then layer this in a slow cooker with pork chops that had been browned and thin sliced potatoes salt and pepper to taste was wonderful, just a thought
We live in Tx and great grandfather came from Germany. Grew up making our own sour kraut. Mom would serve sour kraut with sausage, mashed potatoes and salty cornbread and it was awesome.
I am surprised that no one recommended the Rueben sandwich. My favorite! Corned beef, sauerkraut ,thousand island dressing on rye with swiss cheese, all grilled up served either open faced or closed. A classic here in the USA!
Thank you for your recommendation. As a German I have never had a sandwich, or a bun, or a brad roll with sauerkraut. That’s very American 😉 but I am willing to try, because I still have this sauerkraut in my fridge 😂 thanks for watching.
That last dish looked fantastic! As an American with Prussian-German heritage I'm always looking for more traditional German dishes to make. Thank you.
My mother's family are Slovak. They use sauerkraut in many dishes also. My grandmother used to make her own in a large crock. She would put thin slices of green apple in among the layers of grated cabbage. I like it many different ways, with pork chops and potatoes, then topped with sour cream, also cooked together with sliced kielbasa, and potatoes. We usually use caraway seeds, garlic, and black pepper as seasonings with it.
Szegediner Gulasch: spicy - lots of Paprika- pork stew, stewed slowly until the meat is soft and tender with Sauerkraut, served with a dollop of sour cream and dumplings. Usually I often just snack on raw sauerkraut, also good on a bread roll with pastrami slices and mustard.
What a lovely presentation you have the love of my German Grandmother who raised me till a teen EVERYTHING she made from scratch we had a huge garden in North Dakota amazing dishes & family memories 💞 🌟 Thank you .... 🙏
Each year in the early autumn, when the giant, white kraut cabbages show up at our farmer's market, I make a 10 liter batch of sauerkraut. One of our favorite ways to eat it is baked in a casserole with sautéed yellow onion, white wine, prunes, bacon, a little honey, and lightly seasoned with either juniper berry and fennel seed, or with thyme and bay leaf. I bake it in a slow oven until most of the liquid has evaporated and the sauerkraut turns a deep amber color (about 2 hours). If you bake the dish a day ahead of time -- it's even better! It's especially delicious as a side dish with roasted duck or goose.
@James Knodell I had to make something like that when I was in culinary school back in the early '90s. It was called Duck ala Mode. Gotta be honest. It wasn't one of my favorite things I ever prepared.
My family eats sauerkraut this way.... mix sauerkraut with mashed potatoes, but make sure the mixture is more mashed potatoes than sauerkraut... Then add cooked real bacon bits. Super amazing.
In a book called authentic German homestyle recipes we have a sauerkraut recipe also called "Saurkraut Auflauf". it calls for 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, 8 juniper berries, 30 oz of sauerkraut, 1 cup of water, 8 oz of wide noodles, 1 lb smoked sausage sliced and 1 cup sour cream. Simmer the drained sauerkraut in a pot with all of the spices for 35 to 40 min. Cook the noodles. Place half the sauerkraut in a greased casserole dish, half of the sausage slices, next all of the noodles, then the rest of the sauerkraut, the other half of the sausage slices. Top with sour cream and bake in a 400 deg f or 200C for 30-40 min.
First day we have had snow here.My mother loved cabbage ,her beef homemade soup always had cabbage added a sweetness and never seen it in canned soup here.She loved her onions to .Looks delicious .
@@cooking-the-world Kielbasa is available in most US super markets. One of the well known brands is Hillshire Farms. They sometimes include recipes on the plastic wrap covering the sausage and that’s where I found this recipe. I can’t remember but I might have added the caraway myself.
This evening's dinner, but I'm making the Hungarian version (Szekelykaposzta) It usually uses pork pieces I guess, but it's excellent with homemade kielbasa (I'm a retired sausage maker and butcher), it also has the addition paprika of course (I think Hungarians use paprika in everything, lol). I love potatoes (too much), but tonight I'm making spaetzle as a side. As far as US national brands go, Hillshire Farms has a decent flavor, as does Johnsonville, Klements is good too, with less added water to it, (you can make a lot of money by adding water in the meat and sausage in the manufacturing industry. A little water is needed for most sausages, but the ridiculous amount that some of these companies use should be criminal). I imagine Germany still has very strict laws regarding sausage making, quality is still very important to them. Okay, enough of my old man ranting.
Great video! Thanks for sharing it! You should also try these recipes with Sauerkraut: - Jota, a soup typical of Trieste that is made with Sauerkraut, onion, potatoes, carrots, bacon and borlotti beans - Polenta with cotechino e crauti, it's a traditional dish of Trentino consisting in polenta paired with cotechino (a big sausage with pork rind that needs to cook for long time) and crauti (Sauerkraut) - Borscht, a traditional Ukrainian soup made with beetroot, Sauerkraut and smoked pork
Oh! Thank you very much for your inspiration! I had Borscht already, but the first two sound really delicious! Shame that I didn’t have Jota when visiting Trieste.. in Trentino I just had carne Salada for breakfast, lunch and dinner 😂
I make something similar to the last one. But I use fillo sheets brushed with melted butter. Add a layer of cheddar mash potatoes. Then a layer of sauerkraut with bacon and onions. Then I roll it up and bake it just like a strudel. I like serving slices of it with bratwurst.
My favourite dish lately is a version of Dutch Stampot. I cook potatoes, carrots, swedes, onion, garlic, and cabbage together in stock. Drain the veg when cooked, saving the stock and then mash it all together with butter and cream and stir in a big clump of sauerkraut. It is so delicious. It is similar to Teerdisch I guess.
There's a Russian variation I fermented from scratch.The ingredients were of course cabbage,sea salt,shredded carrot,garlic cloves,bruised peppercorns and bay leaves.As a change,it was great,though much stronger tasting than the German variety.
I was born and raised on a farm in north Missouri in the '50s and '60s raised most of our food ourselves. We have a large number of Bohemian and German descendants whose cooking DEFINES "American Food" for me. ❤❤❤❤❤
This Mexican American has ALWAYS liked German food, was once working on a photo crew in Milwaukee and the German food was fantastic Now I am making my own homemade sauerkraut with just brine ...it is delicious. Mashed potatoes and sauerkraut is what I HAVE to try next
I’ve had a large can of Hengstenburg sauerkraut in my pantry for a while and was not sure how to serve it. In Canada, it can be purchased at outside events with a bratwurst in a bun smothered in sauerkraut which is delicious especially on a cool autumn day. Now I can try some of your suggestions. Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching :) I am glad that I could inspire you. Here in Germany is not typical to have Sauerkraut with Sausage in a bun. That’s very American:) I think that only one kind of Bratwurst would be traditionally served with Sauerkraut in a bread roll, and they only do this in Ulm.
Im am german and live in colorado..here is my way of making sauerkraut. First of all Hengstenberg is the best... not to sour . Put Sauerkraut in a medium pot..add shopped onions pepper and salt and one cube of Beefbullion. Mix and add warm water to cover half of the kraut. Add smoked sausage on top and boil unt
Then simmer everything ( medium heat ) once awhile stirring make sure there is always a little water in the sauerkraut. About 1 hr on medium heat. When done drain the water...should be ready to eat
When I was in Berlin a few years ago I had Schweineschnitzel with knödel and sauerkraut but the sauerkraut was a little sweet and had some very aromatic herbs in it. It was the best sauerkraut I have ever had.
The spices we usually use are bay leave, juniper berries, pepper corns and allspice:) very interesting way of serving Schnitzel though. I have Nager had it with a Sauerkraut or Knödel
Wow! What an amazing video. I learnt so much about sauerkraut, I had no idea it was so versatile. Thank you for an amazing video, that has left me feeling very hungry! 🙂
This could not have appeared in my feed at a better time! I'm almost out of the batch of Kimchi in my fermenting crock, and will be starting a batch of sauerkraut next! In a few weeks, I'll need these ideas! (totally unrelated - I love your accent! I can't place it, but I love it!)
Oh how sweet. I hope that you will keep the ideas somewhere and try some, when the time comes! The accent is weird, because I speak few languages fluently and I guess thats what is influencing it. But who knows:) Thanks for watching
@@cooking-the-world The Teerdisch especially has my attention! :-) (You do sound like your English came from a number of different sources - it all comes together nicely, though!)
I like sauerkraut in Reuben sandwiches to which I also add horseradish for a little more kick. I eat Polish sauerkraut and sausages but it's not an every day dish for me I like to add diced apple to kraut. It sweetens it and adds some crunch.
I'm Canadian and 70 y-o. my mom used to make the best sauerkraut ever, my dad was Russian my mom was German, of course, I love her receipt. I always love sauerkraut and eat it with many different meals I bake, my younger brother doesn't like it at all. I sometimes make my version of it, but if I leave some for other meals my brother often throws it in the garbage, he hates the sight and odor of it.
Here in the states many German themed restaurants will have sauerkraut balls which are balls of kraut that are breaded and fried. These are usually served as an appetizer. Also, I know it is odd that we put sausages on a bun with sauerkraut, but it is a matter of convenience when at a baseball game of backyard outing.
Look,s so good my dad,s Grandparent,s came to Canada fro m Germany .my Dad would make his own sauerkraut. I am 70 year,s old so whish i could go back in time and have my dad cook for me .
Just your description of the health benefits of eating sauerkraut makes one want to eat sauerkraut! I always enjoy bratwurst with sauerkraut - it is a simple, hearty meal, perfect for a Monday supper. The Allgauer Krautkrapfen looks amazing - I wish I more of a cook, or I would make myself. I'm a chowhound - I love to eat good food, and your posts on German food are fantastic!
Make home made Pierogies with the noodle dough. Stuffed with: Sauerkraut ,mashed potatoes and cheese, All served above with fried buttered onions. My Grandmothers favorite: Lekwar (prune )dessert pierogies served with sour cream. Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful recipes. Merry Christmas and a very Blessed New Year. Mary Jane
Thanks Mary. I do like Polish pierogi too. I am also half police on my mother used to make pierogies for Christmas with sauerkraut and dried mushrooms. That was a feast 🤩 Thanks for watching and your inspiration
I trained as a chef in koln and we made the kraut with onions, garlic, bayleaf, Peppercorn's, white wine, juniper berries and at the end grated potato to thicken it
This channel makes me miss my grandmas cooking. She always made everything and you could have sauerkraut and pickles from her crocks all the time. She also always made the best cabbage rolls in the world. She obviously was a strong amazing German woman.
My mother made a delicious pork loin roast top with fresh sauerkraut and onions and sprinkled generously with brown sugar- Dad, who was of German heritage on both sides , and I , loved this dish! I love German food and miss these special dishes! Love these videos!
Diana West I agree, I miss my Grammy an her amazing food. She was strict but so much un. So many memories but she didn’t use recipes so my mom and aunt had her cook and they tried to record the recipe but they aren’t the same.
Wow so many dishes. I just want to try them all but the live sausage casserole looks just great. A couple of tablespoons of homemade sauerkraut in the morning to get the body going is a good way to start the day. BTW. I binge watched almost all you videos. Nice job.
Thanks Dan, I am glad you like the videos:) It's really fun to make them, but also work, as you can imagine. I am not sure if I can force myself to eat Sauerkraut in the early morning, but I get why you would do such crazy thing :) thanks once again!
What Sauerkraut dishes do you enjoy cooking?
My favorite is still the meal I grew up eating: Pork roast and sauerkraut.

The pork goes on top. Cover. Last 20 minutes or so I finish it uncovered. Excellent with either Austrian bread dumplings or the ones made from potatoes.
Anything with beef!
I enjoy adding sauerkraut, sauerkraut juice and a bit of dijon mustard to a soup, like split pea.This is a very good meat-free meal. Thank you for your video.
Growing up my mother would mix her homemade sourkraut with brown sugar and serve it with smoked sausage or casing sausage and mashed potatoes. (place the potatoes on the middle of the plate and make a well and fill the indentation with the juice of the kraut and tgecsaur kraut and place the sauces around it all in one big heap.
Sauerkraut, new potatoes, pork chops, and a little Applesauce all put in the Crock Pot and cooked all day. It's Heaven!

Oh! Thank you very much for your inspiration! I had Borscht already, but the first two sound really delicious! Shame that I didn’t have Jota when visiting Trieste.. in Trentino I just had carne Salada for breakfast, lunch and dinner 😂
I make something similar to the last one. But I use fillo sheets brushed with melted butter. Add a layer of cheddar mash potatoes. Then a layer of sauerkraut with bacon and onions. Then I roll it up and bake it just like a strudel. I like serving slices of it with bratwurst.
That sounds delicious and easy to make ;) everything is good with cheese 🤩 thanks for inspiration!
Thank for sharing & describing these dishes! They all look delicious!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Dear Sirs: Thank you for the UA-cam sauerkraut recipes , and so informational 😮. Happy Holidays and continue healing.
My favourite dish lately is a version of Dutch Stampot. I cook potatoes, carrots, swedes, onion, garlic, and cabbage together in stock. Drain the veg when cooked, saving the stock and then mash it all together with butter and cream and stir in a big clump of sauerkraut. It is so delicious. It is similar to Teerdisch I guess.
It sounds much richer in ingredients! Thanks for inspiration!
I'm guessing "swedes" means turnips or rutabaga? Some other root vegetable?
If a swede isn't available would a Norwegian or Dane do?
Eisbein mit...!!! And mashed potatoes... The best...!!!
Nice video Marta. I’m hungry now.
Thanks. Oh, that’s never my intent! I just want to inspire 🤗
I make it all the time and have it most days with whatever I want , delicious.
Thank you for all you present on your videos. Your personality is so refreshing.
I LOVE sauerkraut and sometimes make my own! Wonderful video! Thank you, Marta!

Another favourite is Ananaskraut, pineapple with sauerkraut! I make it over and over when I have fresh (or canned) pineapple.
That sounds amazing!
Bitte Herr Lawson list the recipe, pineapple is my absolute favorite!
I loved your video! I will be trying your recipes! Vielen Dank!
Oh, I am craving sauerkraut now! But it is a little too warm to turn on my oven. Soon…soon this wonderful taste treat will grace my table!
Thank you I want to try some of the foods sound yummy the rolled steamed sounds good

Great video! I love to fry sauerkraut in butter until brown and add mustard to it at the very end. Delicious with grilled beer brats.
Sounds great! Thanks for inspirations and for watching!
Thank you for posting ! Got some great ideas for suppers 🥰
You are welcome. Every Sunday there are more ideas I share!
I like this My Grandma was a Baumgardner so I love the kraut
The one with the Onion.
Yummy Ich liebe alles mit Sauetkraut🎉
There's a Russian variation I fermented from scratch.The ingredients were of course cabbage,sea salt,shredded carrot,garlic cloves,bruised peppercorns and bay leaves.As a change,it was great,though much stronger tasting than the German variety.
Thank you for this. It made my mouth water. I can’t wait to try all of these dishes.
I am glad that I could inspire you. Cook and have fun with it :)
I was born and raised on a farm in north Missouri in the '50s and '60s raised most of our food ourselves. We have a large number of Bohemian and German descendants whose cooking DEFINES "American Food" for me.
❤❤❤❤❤
Nice to c so many variations of dishes with sourcrau thank u for sharing
Our Grandmother made us Sauerkraut and sausage...It wasn't my favorite but I liked it!
Love how you show the different dishes. I love sauerkraut!!!
Thanks Ruth. Giving my best here!
Ich liebe Sauerkraut, mein lieblings Gericht! Thüringen Schlachtekraut ist das beste!!
Danke für den Tipp ☺️ mal gucken ob ich es auch in Frankfurt finde ☺️
I absolutely love German food. Those dishes are amazing
Thank you 🤗
The Krautkrapfen looks amazing
A Excellent Video.. Highly Recommended.. Thank You Very Much For Sharing..
And thank you for watching!:)
We LOVE sauerkraut
This Mexican American has ALWAYS liked German food, was once working on a photo crew in Milwaukee and the German food was fantastic Now I am making my own homemade sauerkraut with just brine ...it is delicious. Mashed potatoes and sauerkraut is what I HAVE to try next
I last had the schupfnudeln mit sauerkraut at a zweiblefest years ago. I love it!
🤩
I love your videos. Great food.
Oh man. I am finishing a ferment of sauerkraut right now. I love the idea of the casserole with the liver sausage and potatoes!
Try it and let me know how it was:) glad I could inspire you to try something different.
The quick recipes in the end were a nice touch. I'm about to make my first batch today.
Thank you.
Pork Roast, sauerkraut, V-8 & little sugar in a crock pot. Amazing!!
🤩
South Africa here... Maggi! Sauce of the gods!
Hahahaha 😂
My favorite, Canadian Bacon and Sauerkraut Pizza!!!
I’ve had a large can of Hengstenburg sauerkraut in my pantry for a while and was not sure how to serve it. In Canada, it can be purchased at outside events with a bratwurst in a bun smothered in sauerkraut which is delicious especially on a cool autumn day. Now I can try some of your suggestions. Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching :) I am glad that I could inspire you. Here in Germany is not typical to have Sauerkraut with Sausage in a bun. That’s very American:) I think that only one kind of Bratwurst would be traditionally served with Sauerkraut in a bread roll, and they only do this in Ulm.
Im am german and live in colorado..here is my way of making sauerkraut. First of all Hengstenberg is the best... not to sour . Put Sauerkraut in a medium pot..add shopped onions pepper and salt and one cube of Beefbullion. Mix and add warm water to cover half of the kraut. Add smoked sausage on top and boil unt
Then simmer everything ( medium heat ) once awhile stirring make sure there is always a little water in the sauerkraut. About 1 hr on medium heat. When done drain the water...should be ready to eat
When I was in Berlin a few years ago I had Schweineschnitzel with knödel and sauerkraut but the sauerkraut was a little sweet and had some very aromatic herbs in it. It was the best sauerkraut I have ever had.
The spices we usually use are bay leave, juniper berries, pepper corns and allspice:) very interesting way of serving Schnitzel though. I have Nager had it with a Sauerkraut or Knödel
So many ways to add sauerkraut, gee wiz here I am eating it as it is & on hotdogs & burgers. Really didn’t there are so many ways. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! And all of those are traditional:)
Some of these look really good.
Thanks, I did my best
I made the last dish, but since I'm vegetarian, I used cooked mushrooms and onions in place of the liver sausage. Topped with a little sour cream. 😘
Next winter im going to try some of these recepies. Greetings from Mexico!✌
Wow! What an amazing video. I learnt so much about sauerkraut, I had no idea it was so versatile.
Thank you for an amazing video, that has left me feeling very hungry! 🙂
This could not have appeared in my feed at a better time! I'm almost out of the batch of Kimchi in my fermenting crock, and will be starting a batch of sauerkraut next! In a few weeks, I'll need these ideas! (totally unrelated - I love your accent! I can't place it, but I love it!)
Oh how sweet. I hope that you will keep the ideas somewhere and try some, when the time comes! The accent is weird, because I speak few languages fluently and I guess thats what is influencing it. But who knows:) Thanks for watching
@@cooking-the-world The Teerdisch especially has my attention! :-) (You do sound like your English came from a number of different sources - it all comes together nicely, though!)
I like sauerkraut in Reuben sandwiches to which I also add horseradish for a little more kick. I eat Polish sauerkraut and sausages but it's not an every day dish for me I like to add diced apple to kraut. It sweetens it and adds some crunch.
I am going to have to try several of these with my new batch of Kraut!
this video made me very hungry
I'm English but still love sauerkraut. We have it with bratwurst, mashed potato and gravy or curry sauce 😜
I think this was great intro to sauerkraut, I plan to try these.
Thanks John. Glad I could inspire you :)
I'm Canadian and 70 y-o. my mom used to make the best sauerkraut ever, my dad was Russian my mom was German, of course, I love her receipt. I always love sauerkraut and eat it with many different meals I bake, my younger brother doesn't like it at all. I sometimes make my version of it, but if I leave some for other meals my brother often throws it in the garbage, he hates the sight and odor of it.
Here in the states many German themed restaurants will have sauerkraut balls which are balls of kraut that are breaded and fried. These are usually served as an appetizer. Also, I know it is odd that we put sausages on a bun with sauerkraut, but it is a matter of convenience when at a baseball game of backyard outing.
Thanks! I have never seen those dishes before! I googled the balls and I felt inspired. Thanks for watching
Look,s so good my dad,s Grandparent,s came to Canada fro m Germany .my Dad would make his own sauerkraut. I am 70 year,s old so whish i could go back in time and have my dad cook for me .
Those are such lovely memories ☺️
Just your description of the health benefits of eating sauerkraut makes one want to eat sauerkraut! I always enjoy bratwurst with sauerkraut - it is a simple, hearty meal, perfect for a Monday supper.
The Allgauer Krautkrapfen looks amazing - I wish I more of a cook, or I would make myself. I'm a chowhound - I love to eat good food, and your posts on German food are fantastic!
Thanks Joseph, I am glad I could inspire you a bit. I love the Krautkrapfen, that was my favourite Sauerkraut dish of all mentioned!:)

Mary Jane
Thanks Mary. I do like Polish pierogi too. I am also half police on my mother used to make pierogies for Christmas with sauerkraut and dried mushrooms. That was a feast 🤩 Thanks for watching and your inspiration
#9 are good to my 👁😌🙂
Thank you! 😊
I trained as a chef in koln and we made the kraut with onions, garlic, bayleaf, Peppercorn's, white wine, juniper berries and at the end grated potato to thicken it
Sounds delicious. Thanks 🤩
This channel makes me miss my grandmas cooking. She always made everything and you could have sauerkraut and pickles from her crocks all the time. She also always made the best cabbage rolls in the world. She obviously was a strong amazing German woman.
My mother made a delicious pork loin roast top with fresh sauerkraut and onions and sprinkled generously with brown sugar- Dad, who was of German heritage on both sides , and I , loved this dish! I love German food and miss these special dishes! Love these videos!
Diana West I agree, I miss my Grammy an her amazing food. She was strict but so much un. So many memories but she didn’t use recipes so my mom and aunt had her cook and they tried to record the recipe but they aren’t the same.
I have a large jar of sauerkraut left over from my at-home Oktoberfest so this video is very timely
Perfect! You will need this vitamin C soon ;)
Wow so many dishes. I just want to try them all but the live sausage casserole looks just great. A couple of tablespoons of homemade sauerkraut in the morning to get the body going is a good way to start the day. BTW. I binge watched almost all you videos. Nice job.
Thanks Dan, I am glad you like the videos:) It's really fun to make them, but also work, as you can imagine. I am not sure if I can force myself to eat Sauerkraut in the early morning, but I get why you would do such crazy thing :) thanks once again!
