GFY Chefs, I have a sourkraut question...
 

I have a brisket in the oven, going on it's 4th hour now. I am thinking another hour or so and it's going to be all good. In the same dish I have carrots and potatoes. I also have a jar of kraut here and no idea how to prepare it. There are no directions on the jar and google only returns how to make kraut, not how to prepare it for serving.

So, question is, should i add it to the same dish? Will the kraut while warming overtake the potatos and carrots? Or should i heat it seperately?

Thanks,
Bill

Heat it seperately,
otherwise it will totally overpower the meat and other veggies...


better yet.... throw that shit away and enjoy the rest of your meal

you just have to heat saurkraut. if you really like it, spread it over the brisket the last 30 minutes of cooking. make sure you drain it.

ok, that's what I was thinking. The seperate part, not the throwing out part...lol

Sweetness, thank you.

OK, she's done. Maybe I'll pull the kraut out later today, the veggies will do for lunch I think...

Nasty stuff.

just add some salt and pepper lol

When I cook sausage and kraut I just throw them all into the same pot and turn it on. Sometimes I'll brown the sausage first but most of the time I just throw it all in.

For your meal, I would recommend just warming up the kraut on the side. With sausage you don't mind the kraut being overpowering but with a dish like that, you would want to add them seperately.

do it the way europeans do it

boiled potatoes 30 mins, add the kraut on top, put the wurst/saucege on there (pretty sure you cant get that there) leave it for another 15 mins, remove the wurst, mash the potatoes add salt paper and dont forget to make a mountain shape on your plate with gravy in the hole in the middle

this is how the germans eat it btw thats smoked saucege cassler rib (pork really greasy) and baked bacon

That looks like it's all fat! Really thick cut bacon...ewwww!

well thats how sauerkraut is eaten in Germany, esp in Bavaria.

I agree its awfull, we just have it with lean saucege and gravy much better...
