GRILLED KIELBASA WITH SAUERKRAUT AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut kielbasa into 3-inch lengths and butterfly lengthwise. Place on hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side turning frequently, charring all sides. Remove from grill. Transfer kielbasa to a baking sheet and place in oven to cook for another 5 to 6 minutes.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add butter and sugar. Allow sugar to cook to a golden brown color. Add onions and cook until caramelized. Stir in the sauerkraut and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until onions and sauerkraut are wilted and colored.
• Remove kielbasa from oven and cut into 1-inch pieces. Add to pan of sauerkraut and onions. Toss together and cook for 1 minute. Transfer to a platter, garnish with parsley and serve with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce.

OLD-COUNTRY SAUERKRAUT 'N' RIBS

Steps:

• Layer the potato, sauerkraut and ribs in a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Combine the ketchup, molasses and Worcestershire sauce; pour over the ribs. , Cover and bake at 350° for 1-1/4 hours. Uncover; bake 15 minutes longer or until meat is tender. Remove ribs and cut into two-rib portions before serving.

HOW TO MAKE SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash a large tub or bowl (we used on the size of a small washing-up bowl), then rinse with boiling water from the kettle. Make sure that your hands, and everything else coming into contact with the cabbage, are very clean. It's wise to use a container that will comfortably fit the softened cabbage, allowing several inches of room at the top to avoid overflow.
• Shred the cabbage thinly - a food processor makes light work of this. Layer the cabbage and the salt in the tub or bowl. Massage the salt into the cabbage for 5 mins, wait 5 mins, then repeat. You should end up with a much-reduced volume of cabbage sitting in its own brine. Mix in the caraway seeds and the peppercorns.
• Cover the surface of the cabbage entirely with a sheet of cling film, then press out all the air bubbles from below. Weigh the cabbage down using a couple of heavy plates, or other weights that fit your bowl, and cover as much of the cabbage as possible. The level of the brine will rise to cover the cabbage a little. Cover the tub and leave in a dark place at a cool room temperature (about 18-20C) for at least five days. It will be ready to eat after five days, but for maximum flavour leave the cabbage to ferment for anywhere between 2-6 weeks (or until the bubbling subsides).
• Check the cabbage every day or so, releasing any gases that have built up as it ferments, giving it a stir to release the bubbles. If any scum forms, remove it, rinse the weights in boiling water and replace the cling film. You should see bubbles appearing within the cabbage, and possibly some foam on the top of the brine. It's important to keep it at an even, cool room temperature - too cool and the ferment will take longer than you'd like, too warm and the sauerkraut may become mouldy or ferment too quickly, leading to a less than perfect result.
• The cabbage will become increasingly sour the longer it's fermented, so taste it now and again. When you like the flavour, transfer it to smaller sterilised jars. Will keep in the fridge for up to six months.

SPARE RIBS WITH SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Place ribs in a large pot, cover them with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain the water and cool the ribs until you can touch them. Cut them into 1 or 2 rib portions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set them aside.
• In a large Dutch oven sauté the onion in shortening until glassy. Add the ribs, reduce the heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Drain sauerkraut and add it to the ribs. Pour water and wine over the ribs. Add the apple, bay leaf and cloves, turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Turn down heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
• Peel, wash and grate the potato and place into the sauerkraut mixture. Add a little water if needed. Stir and simmer another 1/2 hour. Season with salt and pepper and a dash of sugar.

SAUERKRAUT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Combine sauerkraut, tomatoes, sugar, bacon, and black pepper in a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
• Bake in a preheated 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) oven for 2 hours and 15 minutes. When finished cooking it should be bubbly around the edges and caramelized on top.

BBQ SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• 1. In a small skillet saute bacon and onions together. In a 2 quart casserole combine sauerkraut, tomatoes, brown sugar bacon and onions.
• 2. Bake uncovered in 350 degrees for 2 hours. Casserole should look carmally around the edges.

BBQ SAUERKRAUT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and stir in the ground beef and onion. Cook until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain, and discard any excess grease.
• Pour the beef mixture into a 3-quart casserole dish. Layer the sauerkraut over the ground beef, pour the tomato juice over the sauerkraut, then sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbly, about 60 minutes.

BBQ SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• In a small skillet saute bacon and onion together.
• In a 2 quart baking dish combine all sauerkraut, tomatoes, brown sugar, bacon and onions.
• Bake uncovered in 350 degree oven for 2 hours.
• Sauerkraut should look carmelly around the edges.

COUNTRY STYLE PORK RIBS AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• In a 3 ½ to 4-quart Slow Cooker combine sauerkraut and pork by layering in the slow cooker. This helps the flavors work together as they cook.
• Turn on low and cook ribs and kraut for 8 hours. On high cook for 5 hours. However, I recommend low heat and slow. The longer cooking time suits this recipe well as the meat will still be juicy yet fork tender.

BARBECUE SAUERKRAUT BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together, then add the onion and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Reduce the temperature to low, add the garlic, catsup, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire, mustard, and Tabasco or hot sauce, and simmer for 10 minutes; add the shredded cooked meat, remove from heat, and set aside.
• In a colander rinse the sauerkraut well under running water, then set aside to let drain.
• In a lightly sprayed casserole dish, pour the meat and barbecue sauce mixture, then spread the sauerkraut over the meat.
• In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
• Sprinkle crumb mixture over the sauerkraut, lightly spray with olive oil or pan spray, then bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until crumb topping is golden brown and crisped to desired texture.
• Serve as is or over toast (dark rye is good!) or toasted hamburger buns.
• Note: you can put a layer of barbecued beans under the shredded meat, if desired; also, you can use commercially prepared barbecued sauce instead of making your own as above (about 1 1/4 cup of sauce).

SPARERIBS AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F. Choose a baking pan that will accommmodate the ribs in pieces or all hitched together, with the kraut in the space left over. Eight country-style ribs cut into a 6-rib and a 2-rib hunk, plus the can of kraut, fit perfectly in a 9-by-13-inch pan. For more ribs, get a bigger pan and more kraut.
• Place the ribs in the pan and the sauerkraut in a mound beside them. Cover the ribs - not the kraut - with the barbecue sauce. Use as much as you like, maybe more than half the bottle, maybe less. Cover the pan tightly withaluminum foil and bake for 3 hours. Lift a corner of the foil near the end of the time to sneak a look. The ribs should be nicely browned and glazed and your mouth should water. Serve hot.
