Stewed cabbage in German

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. White cabbage, if possible, take fresh, new harvest. Sauerkraut should be classic salted - without cranberries, horseradish and apples. As for sausages, it can be sausages, and some sausages - the main thing is that the product has a smoked taste. Vegetable oil can be any vegetable, but since we will fry on it, use refined types of oils.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel and dice the onion. You will peel the onion faster and it will be less burning if you soak it in cold water for 20-30 minutes beforehand.

3. Step 3:

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, add chopped onion and fry it over medium heat until golden brown. This usually takes about 5 minutes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Squeeze the sauerkraut from the brine and add it to the pan. Mix everything and fry for about 7 minutes. I want to note that sauerkraut is fried longer than fresh cabbage.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add cumin. It can be either ground cumin in powder form, or whole cumin seeds, like mine. Of spices and seasonings, I would not recommend adding anything else to this dish. Maybe just a little ground hot pepper.

6. Step 6:

   

   Peel sausages, sausages or sausages. If the shell is natural, it is not necessary to clean it. Cut into circles about 6-8 mm thick. The pieces should clearly be felt in the cabbage, so it's not worth cutting smaller.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add to the pan and fry everything together for about 5-7 minutes. The sausages should fry a little.

9. Step 8:

   

   Wash the white cabbage well, remove the top 2-3 leaves - the dirt accumulates there and chop it in any convenient way.

10. Step 9:

    

    Add to the pan, stir, fry everything together for another 10 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    As soon as you put the sliced cabbage in the pan, immediately add salt to it, so the cabbage will decrease in volume faster and the dish will be easier to mix.

12. Step 11:

    

    In German cuisine, such a dish is considered quite self-sufficient, but it is quite possible to serve it as a side dish to meat or poultry. Enjoy your meal!
