Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Add all ingredients including the Sauerkraut into pot. Pour enough water over the ingredients to cover the meat. I used about 6 cups of water. Bring everything to a boil and let it simmer until the meat becomes soft and cooked. This took about an hour for the 1 1/2 lbs I used but this may vary.

Season the Sauerkraut stew to taste and divide it onto plates. Add some of the meat and serve it with cooked potatoes and mustard, horseradish or mustard with horseradish for the meat.
