Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup of sauerkraut
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
Instructions
- Scoop 1 cup of sauerkraut out of a jar. Place it in a fine-mesh strainer to drain for at least 5 minutes.
- Use the back of a spoon to squeeze out any residual liquid.
- Warm a frying pan on medium heat.
- Start by cooking everything else that is going to be served with the sauerkraut.
- When all the other food is almost ready, take a large spoonful of sauerkraut (about 1/2 cup per person) and drop it on the frying pan.
- Fry for 2 to 4 minutes, until warmed through. If you don’t care about the probiotics, it’s fine to fry until the kraut starts to turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you are going to be serving a number of people, either fry up everyone’s meal separately or use a large cast-iron griddle so that everything is ready at the same time.
- Save the sauerkraut brine as a starter for other fermented vegetables.
