My MIL loves sauerkraut, so when I saw this recipe from Emeril Lagasse, I had to try it. You absolutely MUST rinse the sauerkraut thoroughly! Ingredients:
1 lb turkey kielbasa, diced |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 celery rib, chopped |
1 tablespoon garlic, minced |
1 cup hard alcoholic cider (beer product) |
32 ounces sauerkraut, drain and rinse |
8 cups low sodium chicken broth |
1 cup peeled and cubed potato (any kind that is firm and will hold it's shape vs. breaking down) |
3 sprigs fresh thyme |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. In a soup pot brown the kielbasa slices on medium-high (about 5 min).
2. Add the onions and celery until soft and lightly browned (only a couple of min).
3. Add the garlic (only 1 minute - don't let it scorch).
4. Add the bottle of cider and reduce almost completely.
5. Add the sauerkraut, chicken broth, potatoes, thyme and pepper and bring to a boil.
6. Simmer on very low heat until potatoes and kraut are soft through (about 1 hour).
7. Serve immediately (crusty sourdough is good accompaniment).
