CHOUCROUTE GARNIE 1-2-3



Choucroute Garnie 1-2-3 image

Choucroute garnie traditionally combines sausages and thick chunks of bacon with larger cuts of meat like smoked pork chops and even hunks of pork shoulder. This faster version includes only sausages and bacon. The grated potato adds body and silkiness to the sauerkraut, which, if not homemade (see page 143), should be purchased refrigerated (not canned).

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons duck fat, lard, or expeller-pressed vegetable oil
2 medium onions, diced
2 cups grated peeled russet potato (about 1 large potato)
Kosher salt
2 1/2 pounds drained sauerkraut (12 cups loosely packed homemade [page 143] or 1 [32-ounce] jar or equivalent, drained and lightly rinsed)
2 dried bay leaves
10 dried juniper berries, lightly crushed
5 black peppercorns
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
2 to 3 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade (page 177), or water, as needed
1-pound chunk of unsliced slab bacon, cut into several large chunks
2 pounds mixed pork sausages, such as knockwurst, boudin blanc, and/or fresh garlic sausages
Mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Heat the fat in a heavy, shallow 3-quart enameled cast-iron pot or other heatproof baking dish over low heat. Sauté the onions until soft and fragrant but not browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, season lightly with salt, and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sauerkraut, bay leaves, juniper berries, peppercorns, wine, and just enough stock to nearly cover the sauerkraut. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
  • Nestle the bacon into the sauerkraut, cover, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the bacon is starting to render. Remove the cover and add the sausages in one layer, pushing them down a bit into the sauerkraut, which should still be quite moist. If it seems dry, moisten it with a little additional chicken stock. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the top of the sauerkraut is golden and the sausages and bacon are cooked through and browned. Bring the dish to the table and serve with strong mustard and lots of cold beer or white wine.

CHOUCROUTE



Choucroute image

Enjoy this alsatian specialty with some good beer. I like making this with crunchy, bright, and tart fresh sauerkraut, which my mom brings me from France. It's also delicious with regular sauerkraut. I love how the meat juices infuse the cabbage and potatoes for a satisfying one-pot meal.

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons rendered duck or goose fat or unsalted butter
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 pounds fresh sauerkraut
4 fresh bay leaves
20 juniper berries packed in vinegar, rinsed well, or 1 tablespoon dried juniper berries
Kosher salt
3 fresh pig knuckles
1 rack (about 2 pounds) baby back ribs, cut in half
1/2 slab fresh bacon (about 4 inches)
1/2 slab double-smoked bacon (about 4 inches)
4 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
1 bottle (750 ml) dry Riesling
12 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
5 Alsatian knacks with natural casings or other German frankfurters
Very good Dijon mustard and horseradish sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a 5-quart Dutch oven or pot over medium-low eat. Melt the duck fat and butter, then add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and golden but not browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, rinse the sauerkraut under hot water to remove excess salt. When it starts to stick to your fingers, drain well and squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands.
  • Add the sauerkraut, bay leaves, and juniper berries to the onions, season with salt, and stir once. Arrange the knuckles, ribs, and both bacons in the sauerkraut, partially burying them in the mixture. Top with the garlic, then add the wine. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, arrange the potatoes in a single layer over the meat. Cover and continue cooking until the potatoes and meat are tender.
  • About 20 minutes before serving, place the knacks in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a very gentle simmer and cook until heated through, about 15 minutes. Do not let the water boil or the knacks will explode.
  • Transfer the potatoes and meat from the Dutch oven to a large serving platter, let cool slightly, and slice the meat. Transfer the sauerkraut to the platter. Top with the knacks. Serve with mustard and horseradish sauce on the side.
