SAUERKRAUT STRUDEL (AKA KRAUTSTRUDEL) WITH BACON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 F.
• Dice the bacon and cook in a pan over medium heat until it renders the fat but is not yet crispy. Drain on paper towel and saute the diced onion in the rendered bacon fat. Cool down.
• In a bowl combine the drained sauerkraut, bacon, onion, egg, bread crumbs, seasonings. Mix well together.
• Roll out the puff pastry sheets, brush with half the melted butter. Reserve the rest.
• Spread half of the sauerkraut mixture over each sheet, roll and pinch to tuck in the ends. Place each strudel seam side down onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
• Bake for 35 minutes or a bit longer, until nicely golden brown. Let cool down a bit before cutting in sliced with a serrated knife.
• Serve with sour cream or mustard as a dip.

SAUERKRAUT STRUDEL (KRAUTSTRUDEL): AN EASY GERMAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Though it might seem intimidating to roll the sauerkraut strudel, it's as simple as moving quickly, carefully, and rolling the strudel tight.
• After thawing the phyllo dough and cooking the bacon, onion, red pepper, and shredded cabbage in a skillet, place the cabbage mixture on the dough and roll.
• Then, top with olive oil and caraway seeds.
• This recipe makes two German sauerkraut strudel rolls.

POTATO, BACON AND SAUERKRAUT STRUDEL

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, boil the potatoes. Rinse and mash with some butter and the fresh ground pepper (I used vegan margarine). Set aside.
• In a large pan saute the onions, bacon and bay leaf until the onions just start to get brown. Drain any extra fat from the pan. Remove the bay leaf.
• Add the potatoes, and sauerkraut to the onions, bacon mixture. Give it a really good toss to make sure it's well mixed. At this point, if you want to wait to make the strudel put this in the fridge for 24 hours.
• Melt your butter and get a pastry brush, brush the first piece of phylo, repeat with the next two, but don't grease the top sheet.
• Pile the bacon, potato, sauerkraut mixture on top of the phylo and spread it out evenly. I used a small offset spatula to do this and it worked great. Remember to leave about 1-1/2 inch space along the edges of the phylo. Seal the phylo making sure the sides are sealed and the bottom and put the seam down on the baking sheet. I put parchment on mine to make sure it doesn't burn. Bake at 400'F for 40 minutes.
• NOTE: I used Trader Joe's puff pastry to make mine, I thawed two sheets and rolled them out to 12"x14" and spread the filling on each one, rolled it up and sealed it with some egg wash. Bake at 400'F for about 20 minutes.
• Keep an eye on your strudel whether you used phylo or puff pastry, some ovens are hotter then others and this could easily burn.
• Let the strudel cool for at least 20 minutes before serving, it can be a tad soggy, but this is how it's supposed to be. It tends to be less soggy with the puff pastry.
• Serve with sour cream.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large (preferably non-stick) pan, add the bacon and cook for about a minute, then add the onions and cook for another minute, or until the onion is just beginning to soften. Put the pan aside for use later in cooking the patties.
• In a medium-to-large bowl, combine the mashed potato, (optional) sour cream, the well-drained Edgell Sauerkraut, the egg, the cooked onion and bacon, the brown sugar, the caraway seeds and freshly ground black pepper, and (if necessary) salt, and mix well to combine all the ingredients.

CHICKEN AND BACON CHOUCROUTE WITH POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a small pot and pour in water to cover by 2"; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce heat so water is at an active simmer. Cook potatoes until fork-tender, 22-25 minutes. Drain; let sit 5 minutes to dry.
• Meanwhile, whisk shallots, oil, vinegar, mustard, hot sauce, and honey in a large bowl; season dressing with salt.
• Add hot potatoes to dressing and let sit, tossing occasionally, until they are just warm and have soaked up some of the dressing, at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour. Just before serving, add tarragon to potato salad and toss to evenly distribute.
• Place a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 400°F. Drizzle oil in a large skillet. Season chicken generously with salt and arrange skin side down in a single layer in skillet. Set over medium heat and cook chicken, undisturbed, until skin is golden brown around the edges, 12-15 minutes. Using a stiff spatula, lift up chicken, then put it back down, still skin side down. Once chicken pieces have all released from skillet and slide around easily, continue to cook, shifting pieces as needed if browning unevenly, until skin is deeply browned, 6-8 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a plate and turn skin side up. Pour off all but 1/4 cup fat from skillet.
• Add bacon to same skillet and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Cook garlic in skillet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add thyme sprigs and juniper berries and cook, tossing, just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sauerkraut and wine, increase heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wine is almost completely evaporated, 6-8 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
• Place sausages in a 3-qt. baking dish and pile sauerkraut over (sausages should be submerged). Arrange chicken thighs and bacon on top of sauerkraut. Pour in 3/4 cup water and bake choucroute until chicken is cooked through and liquid is bubbling throughout, 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve with potato salad.
• Potato salad (without tarragon) can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
