HOW TO MAKE SAUERKRAUT

How To Make Sauerkraut –One of the famous Korean dishes is Kimchee. It is like a pickled cabbage with some seasonings in it. But we  are not going to make that this time, I just mentioned it because this dish we are going to make is a German counterpart of it. It is also made of cabbage with some onions vinegar and apple cider in it. I like kimchi, don’t get me wrong, but this Sauerkraut has different taste. I even eat it whenever I’m sleepy because I don’t know but it keeps me awake. I like to eat it with brats or accompanied with rice and fish fillet. It is actually sour and crunchy perfect for hamburger filling served with beer or soda. There are Sauerkrauts you can buy from supermarket and groceries but the homemade ones are way better, the ones from supermarkets last longer though. But don’t worry about how long it lasts, we are not going to make tons of it. Just enough for one small jar. Here is how to make Sauerkraut:

Ingredients

1 medium size cabbage (shredded)

1 small size red onion (minced)

1 tbsp olive oil

½ cup apple cider

1 cup cider vinegar

½ cup water

1 tbsp salt

1 tsp caraway seed

3. Add all the remaining ingredients. Stir well.
4. Cover the pan and simmer for half an hour.
5. Remove from the pan and let it cool.
6. Transfer in a jar and refrigerate.
