What Can I Make With Sauerkraut
When I was growing up, sauerkraut made an appearance at our family’s table at least once a week. My Mom made a couple standard sauerkraut dishes, which included the classic skillet meal of pork chops, potatoes, and sauerkraut. She included a generous sprinkling of caraway seeds on top to, how shall I say, lessen the affects of the sauerkraut on the digestive system.
I continue the tradition to this day and often serve sauerkraut meals to my family. Maybe not once a week, but routinely. My problem is that I am running out of ideas for new recipes. Don’t get me wrong; I love the traditional skillet meal that I grew up with, but also would like to enjoy sauerkraut in other dishes.
Does anyone have a nice side dish, main dish casserole, or an unusual but tasty sauerkraut dish they would like to share? I’d love to hear from you!

Actually, i never had the chance to eat food with sauerkraut. I am curious about the taste. I hope someone will share their recipe here.

In my family, we sometimes make a stir fry from it. Get a big pan and a little bit of grape-seed or olive oil and stir fry it. One can add mushrooms to the mix for an extra punch. Keep in mind, the sauerkraut shrinks as you fry it, so have enough to start with =)

I really don’t like sauerkraut, probably because nobody made the effort to try to introduce it to me. Cabbage used to be THE food in our area so now some want to forget it totally. So, it’s hard to find recipes in my home kitchen drawer
