I learned to make this sauerkraut from my mother who learned it from my German grandmother. It is easy and very frugal. Serve it with hot dogs or Kielbasa and mashed potatoes.

All you need for this is:
1 small cabbage, finely sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
White vinegar
Vegetable Oil
Salt

Heat a braising pan with vegetable oil. Add the cabbage and fry until wilted and light brown.

Add the sugar and mix. Add the peppercorns. Cover with vinegar and season with salt. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and braise for about 1 1/2 hours until liquid is almost dried up. Serve with hot dogs or Kielbasa. Enjoy!
