Sausage and Sauerkraut Paprikash Recipe



     This is delish!!!!  That is, if you like and appreciate sauerkraut.  If not, I would suggest that you not waste your time even reading this recipe.  I admit that it is a little heavy and not much of Summer dish, but owell.  Sometimes I like something heavy.  A lot of times I like something heavy to eat.  It will probably kill me later in life.  I like creamy stuff with a lot of flavor and this is just up my alley.  

 INGREDIENTS




  • 1 1/2 pound frankfurters, hot dogs, or mild German or Polish sausage, cut into 2 1/2-inch segments
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill, or 1 Tbsp fresh chopped dill
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seed
  • 1 cup beef broth or chicken broth*
  • 1 large (25 to 28 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained
  • 2 cups sour cream

If cooking gluten-free, use gluten-free stock or broth.

METHOD

1 Heat a large thick-bottomed pan or Dutch oven on medium heat. Melt the butter, add the onion, garlic, and paprika, cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
2 Add the franks, dill, caraway, and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
3 Add the sauerkraut, simmer, covered, 15 minutes longer.
4 Remove from heat, stir in the sour cream (do not let the mixture boil after you've added the sour cream).
Serves 8. Serve plain, or with boiled or mashed potatoes.
