Ingredients

  • 1 or so tablespoons of duck fat
  • 1 medium onion , finely chopped
  • 2–3 small potatoes
  • 5 juniper berries
  • 1 clove
  • 1–2 garlic cloves
  • 1 or so tablespoons of coriander seed
  • ½ tablespoon black mustard seed
  • 2 strips of bacon (or the same amount of salted pork belly), sliced into rough squares
  • 1 pound of sauerkraut
  • 4 pork sausages
  • 3 smoked pork slices, bone in
  • 1 cup (240 ml ) or so of white wine (dry)

Directions

1

In a pot large enough to in the end hold everything, melt the duck fat over medium heat.

2

When hot, add the onions and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes or so).

3

Then, add the sauerkraut, white wine, juniper berries, clove, coriander seed, mustard seed, and garlic.

4

Add the smoked pork and bacon.

5

Cover, and then simmer for about 2 hours.

6

In other pot, simmer the peeled potatoes and your sausages—don't boil, or your sausages will split open.

7

Simmer until potatoes are done (and by then the sausage will be, too).

8

Serve in a heap—sauerkraut at the bottom, various pig and potato parts on top.
