Creamy Fried Sauerkraut / Kapusta Kiszona Zasmażana Kremowa
When it comes to sauerkraut, my father in-law was the specialist. I gained my knowledge from him. Whenever it was a holiday or any party day, his sauerkraut was always served and the first to be gone. He didn't share his recipe with any one, but I know his secrets since I assisted him with cooking it.

Ingredients
- 1 kg sauerkraut
- 1 large yellow onion (about 100 - 120 grams)
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 grains allspice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable seasoning or salt to taste (optional)
- 5-6 grains pepper corns
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey to taste
- 70 grams butter
- 1 L water enough to cover the kraut in the pot
- 3-4 tablespoons all purpose flour
Instructions
- Squeeze sauerkraut from the juice if you don't like it very sour. I don't do it, but if you have very sour kraut and prefer a milder taste, you can additionally rinse the kraut with water and squeeze it again. Roughly slice the drained cabbage so that it is easier to put on a plate and eat later. Place the cabbage in a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed pot.
- Pour enough water over the sauerkraut so that it covers it all. Then add your seasonings; allspice, bay leaves, cumin, vegetable seasoning or salt, ground pepper. Mix all well. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the kraut boils reduce to low heat and simmer until tender approximately 1 hour.
- Heat up the butter in a pan and place the chopped onion. Fry until translucent and add to the sauerkraut.
- Once the kraut is tender add the roux and continue cooking until desired consistency is reached.
- Finally do a taste test to make sure the spices are to your preference. You may add sugar or honey at the end to taste. Enjoy!!!
