Sauerkraut and Sausages

Step 1

Add about 2 tbsp oil to a large pan (best if it has a lid, but not essential). Heat over medium heat.

Step 2

Add diced onion and sausage rounds and sauté until the sausage is beginning to brown and the onion is soft and golden.

Step 3

Add the peppercorns (start with 1 tbsp and if you want more you can add them in toward the end, you don’t want to overdo it). Cook for about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the drained sauerkraut to the pan and stir to combine.

Step 5

Add the chopped apple and 2 tbsp brown sugar. Stir. Cover and let cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Remove lid and taste. If it is too sour for your liking, add more brown sugar. This really is a preference thing. You can also add more peppercorns now too, if you like.

Step 7

Cover and cook about 10 more minutes, or until the apples are soft and the flavours are all melded together.

Step 8

Serve with grainy mustard on the side.

Step 9

Enjoy!
