Baked and Sauted Sauerkraut with Pork By Pig on a Spit - May 9, 2008 |

|
When cooking sauerkraut for the table, pork in one form or another is generally added.
Sauerkraut - A traditional German food consisting of finely sliced cabbage fermented by various lactic acid bacterias, in some places it is called sour cabbage.
While boiling is the method that is usually applied to this vegetable, many people prefer to bake it, so that the odor does not escape easily and a better flavor is developed.
Baked Sauerkraut
Ingredients:
2 lb. fresh pork
1 qt. sauerkraut
1 Tb. salt
3 c. water
Cut the pork into several large chunks, and put it with the sauerkraut into a baking dish that has a cover.
Add the salt and water, cover the dish and place in the oven.
Bake slowly for 2 or 3 hours.
Serve hot. Serves 6 people.
Sauted Sauerkraut
If an entirely different way of cooking sauerkraut is desired, it may be sauted. When nicely browned and served with boiled frankfurters, it is very appetizing.
1 qt. sauerkraut
4 Tb. bacon or ham fat
2 tsp. salt
Steam the sauerkraut over boiling water for about 1 hour.
Then melt the fat in an iron frying pan, add the sauerkraut and sprinkle with the salt.
Place a cover over the pan and allow the sauerkraut to saute until it is slightly browned on the bottom.
Stir and continue to cook until the entire amount is slightly browned.
Serve hot. Serves 6 people.
