Smoked Sausage And Sauerkraut Recipes

SAUSAGE AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Place the sauerkraut, caraway seeds, brown sugar, and apple into a large saucepan over medium-low heat, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place the bacon and onion into a skillet over medium heat, and cook until the bacon is almost crisp and the onion is beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir the bacon mixture into the sauerkraut. In the same skillet, brown the kielbasa sausage in the remaining bacon grease until the sausage begins to brown, 10 to 15 minutes; stir into the sauerkraut mixture. Spoon the sauerkraut and sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 1 hour.

KRAPT AND SAUSAGE (SAUERKRAUT AND SMOKED SAUSAGE)

Steps:

• Slice Sausage lengthwise and then cut the pieces into half moons as thick or as thin as you would like. Thinner slices create a meatier presentation and thicker slices create a meatier bite.
• In a large skillet or a medium pot heat oil and sauté onion and garlic until onion is translucent.
• Add sausage and almost sear it.
• Add drained kraut, stir and heat throughout.

GRANNY'S POLISH SAUSAGE WITH SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• 1. Cut sausage into 1-inch sliced sausages and chopped onions. Add butter in a skillet until melted.

SMOKED SAUSAGE AND SAUERKRAUT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
• Cut the smoked sausage into 6 pieces.
• In a 9" x 9" ungreased baking dish, layer in half the sauerkraut and then lay out the sausage on top of it. Cover with the remaining sauerkraut.
• Spread the diced onion over the sauerkraut, lay out the bacon slices across the casserole, and then sprinkle the brown sugar over it. Pour the water over the casserole which will make the sugar dissolve a bit. Cover with aluminum foil and bake on the middle rack for 90 minutes.
• At the end of the 90 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and, on the same rack, BROIL for 6 minutes. Serve hot along with mashed potatoes.
• Note: You won't have to add salt -- there's plenty of salt in the sauerkraut.

SAUSAGES AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, fry the onion in the goose fat until it starts to brown. Add the sauerkraut, and heat it through for 5 minutes. Then add 1 cup of water, cover with a lid, and cook for 20 minutes. Then add the apple, juniper berries, and the bacon. Stir well, add 3 fluid ounces white wine, and 2 tablespoons water. Cook for 35 minutes. After 30 minutes of cooking, add the remaining 2 fluid ounces of white wine.
• Put the cabbage and salt alternately in a terra cotta pot, and press down with a weight or heavy pan until juice covers the shredded cabbage. Cover the pot with a cloth, and weight it down with planks and stones. Place in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 weeks before cooking it.
• All ingredients and equipment need to be very cold when making sausage.
• Cut the neck and belly of pork, and grind it into a large bowl. Add the mace, cardamom, marjoram, salt, and pepper, and mix it all together with your hands. Add the eggs, and mix again. Then add the milk, and mix again.
• Place the casing over a funnel. Stuff the casing with the meat mixture, and then tie the casing to make your desired size of sausage links.
• Once you have made all of the sausages, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to lightly film the pan, and let oil heat. In batches, add the sausages to the hot oil, and fry until browned and fully cooked through. Serve with the steaming sauerkraut, and mustard, if desired.
