~~~GERMAN SAUERKRAUT RECIPE~~~
2 medium sized onions
1 apple
beef or chicken stock
caraway seeds
dried juniper berries
400g of sauerkraut

Dice onion. Sauté for that nice, toasty aroma, then caramellize on low heat. Takes about 30 minutes. In the meantime, dice apple and add it half way through the onion caramellization process. Once onions are caramellized, add sauerkraut. Increase the heat to roast the sauerkraut a bit, but do it briefly. Pour the stock into the pot. Reduce heat and let it simmer. Add crushed, dried juniper berries and caraway seeds. Salt to taste. Let simmer for 20-30 minutes.
TIP: If the sauerkraut taste too sour (store-bought sauerkraut tends to), you can add just a pinch of baking soda during the simmering process to reduce the heat.

Another great variation of this recipe is to add chunks of cured and smoked pork ribs to sauerkraut and cooking everything together. Let it stand for one day. It will keep for 2 weeks in the fridge minimum and tastes great.
