What do you eat with sauerkraut?

[Krustykrabpizza]

I've had a jar in the fridge for ages and just don't know what to do with it. I don't dislike the taste but what does it go on/with? How do you eat it?

Lidl’s excellent bratwurst, mustard & home made potato salad. All washed down with a cold weissbier. 😋

Pierogi (the Ruski ones; potato and cheese) and sour cream with fresh dill on top. Heavenly.

Wiener
Bratwurst (Waitrose does nice ones in in the deli section or Lidl).
Gammon works as well

I grew up with it with mashed potatoes but now we mainly eat it with Bratwurst and a dark/rye bread.

Oh I like the sound of that

As a condiment with fried or breaded chicken, pork or veal (think schnitzel).

It's great for cutting through fat.

With pork chop or belly pork or gammon.

With rollmop herrings and yoghurt, or smoked mackerel fillets and mustard sauce.

With potato salad.

I make bigos with it, a Polish hunter stew. I make it at Easter but it would be perfect this time of year. Very warming www.renbehan.com/2015/03/bigos-hunters-stew.html

Choucroute!

Sausage and mash

Ooh I have it in a wrap. Humous, sauerkraut and spinach. Delicious.

cheese toasties
I make my own and find it quite addictive

same here, I would never cook it, that would hurt the microbes wouldnt it😥

Good question

Another vote for this.

It’s not dead if it’s in a jar. LOL! It’s dead if it’s been homogenised, vacuum packed with heat. It will say on the jar if it’s live, the clue is if you paid more than £5 for the jar and you took it from a refrigerated shelf. If you got it from the Polish section at a £1 for a large jar, then it has no beneficial micro organisms left as they will have been cooked out.
I used to make live sauerkraut for a farmer’s market so I do know what I’m talking about.

On top of hummus on toast or rice crackers.

Bratwurst or Rueben sandwiches

I've considered this, but you say 'used to' so I presume you decided it wasnt worth it?
(I know I'm being lazy & should do my research but I hope you'll indulge me as a fellow maker of sauerkraut😇🙏)

Corned beef

With a cheese toastie

I have only ever had it with Pierogi and it was delicious. Also have them with sour cream and apple sauce too!

I make my own and eat it on its own from a bowl. 😳

Kabanos, or Gibanica and salads, bread more pickles

My problem is chronic fatigue. I was in a remission from it and had the bright idea that I would turn my hobby into a business. Ha!
The problem is that I couldn’t keep up with demand. After two years I was broken and sold it to a younger couple who are now in the same position: they can’t keep up with demand.
What you need is a decent amount of investment and the kind of equipment that is used in Poland. It’s very labour intensive. The good bits is being at the farmer’s markets and talking to your customers about gut health, seeing the same people every month make a bee line to your stall. That part is great.
Pm me if you want to know any more.

With pork goulash and spätzle. I’m hungry and this thread is making it worse!
