Recipe for Sauerkraut
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!

This will be the 3rd recipe I have tried from your website. The first was the chicken thighs with cilantro and juice from an orange/lime….it was AWESOME!. Next I tried your summer salsa….some cabbage sliced up with radishes and juice from a jar of jalepenos…..AWESOME. I have used that salsa as a topping for so many things. The most recent was a store-bought bagel that was toasted and had a lite coating of cream cheese, then we spooned on some refrigerated salsa and it was delicious. It is good on garlic bread, leftover pizza slices, we put some on a steak we were cooking on the BBQ after we flipped it. Thank you.

You are welcome Don! Thank you for letting me know. I too love that salsa. It is so fresh and delicious! You should try it on pan seared white fish. Delish! Take care!
