German Fest
"I know, I know...it's hard to believe any recipe with sauerkraut could even be beyond a two star recipe. All I can say is that in its category, this recipe can give any sauerkraut recipe a run for its money. It originally showed up in the 80's and I have to give credit to Marseille Bienvenue, a local cooking columnist and legend. Potatoes that have been slightly precooked may be added, and using one whole pound of sausage is my personal preference."

Delicious! The only thing I added was a touch of brown sugar to cut the sourness of the sauerkraut. That's what the Germans do. We loved this. I also added the potatoes. Very easy to prepare. Thanks for posting. :) -
Lovely!! This was delicious even though I did not have wine or apple juice on hand (I just used water)<br/><br/>I have been nibbling on the leftovers all day today! Thanks! -
This was yummy! I used kielbasa and the white wine and made as directed. Very simple and good. Thanks GailAnn. Made by an Unruly Under the Influence for ZWT6. -
Well I must say that after making this recipe (as given), my attitude has changed about the use of sauerkraut! Never cared for it before, but it really does taste good in this recipe! Made for a very enjoyable dinner all around! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed while touring Germany with ZWT6] -
What an incredible meal. We loved this tasty comfort dish. It was perfectly cooked. Tasted out of this world. I used the apple juice option with wine sauerkraut and a polish sausage. It was quick and easy to make, with lots of flavor.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
