BAVARIAN SAUERKRAUT



Bavarian Sauerkraut image

This recipe has to be the best tasting sauerkraut I've ever had. Traditionally, my family serves pork and sauerkraut every New Year's Day for luck in the coming year. I love cabbage as a general rule and like most sauerkraut recipes, but they can be quite sour depending on how it is prepared. Sadly I don't remember who gave me this recipe and who deserves the credit, since it was pulled from a collection of hand-written recipes I've kept for years. I made it as a side dish for New Year's Day dinner and it was a complete hit! This is certainly not your typical 'sour' sauerkraut recipe.

SAUERKRAUT- GERMAN, SIMPLE & MILD



Sauerkraut- German, Simple & Mild image

A mild flavor. The potato thickens the sauerkraut and takes the edge off the sharp taste. Came off the Libby canned sauerkraut lable at least 20 years ago. Simple, easy to make and tastes awesome. For people who don't like the taste of strong canned sauerkraut. Goes great with hot dogs and brats.

Time P7DT25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 pounds cabbage, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons sea salt
3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
water to cover

Steps:

  • Mix cabbage, onion, sea salt, and garlic together in a bowl. Firmly pack mixture into a large, clean, food-grade plastic bucket. The cabbage will start to make its own brine as the salt starts to draw out the water of the cabbage.
  • Fill a large, clean, food-grade plastic bag with water and place over the salted cabbage mixture so none of the cabbage is exposed to air.
  • Allow cabbage to ferment in a cool, dry place, 1 to 4 weeks (depending on how tangy you like your sauerkraut). The temperature of the room you ferment the sauerkraut in should not rise above 70 degrees F (21 degrees C).
