Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make stewed sauerkraut with sausages? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can use store-bought or homemade cabbage.

Step 2

Step 2
If you don’t have enough carrots in your cabbage, then add one fresh carrot to the recipe. Grate it on a coarse grater and combine with cabbage. I have homemade cabbage with a lot of carrots. Therefore, no additional carrots were needed.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the sausages from the factory film and cut into circles. You can use any sausage for this dish. But it is worth considering that they can greatly affect the final taste of the dish. For example, if you take sausages with a pronounced smoked taste, then the whole dish will also have a slight smoked taste. If you want a neutral flavor, use regular sausages, such as milk or butter.
