Braised sauerkraut with meat
Description
Who doesn't love eating stewed sauerkraut with meat? I think everyone will enjoy this dish without exception! Delicious and very juicy, it will always be a wonderful addition to any side dish—whether it's porridge, potatoes, or pasta! I recommend cooking it either entirely from sauerkraut, or using a mix of sauerkraut and fresh cabbage—fresh cabbage will take longer to cook, but the dish will turn out more tender and delicate in flavor. Try it yourself!

2. Now add the cabbage — first the sauerkraut and sour cabbage, so it warms up slightly and releases its juice, then place the fresh cabbage on top. Simmer covered until the cabbage softens and settles down — about 20 minutes.

4. To prevent burning, you can periodically add a little water or broth throughout the cooking process. This is what the finished dish will look like.
