Recipe



The secret to great sauerkraut is removing the sour brine from cabbage. Prior to cooking, rinse product under cold running water 2–3 times and drain well. In a cast iron pot, sauté bacon over medium-high heat until fat is rendered. Do not brown. Add smoked sausage and cook 2–3 minutes longer. Add onions and garlic and sauté 3–5 minutes. Stir in flour then add chicken stock, beer, wine and juniper berries. Bring to a rolling boil, then season with salt and pepper. Blend in sauerkraut. Return to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Add ham and bone, pork hocks and Polish sausage. Season with bay leaves. Cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir in potatoes and continue to cook 15–20 minutes or until tender. Serve sauerkraut with equal portions of meat.
