Fresh Sausage and Sauerkraut




For this recipe I used sweet Italian sausage, canned sauerkraut and red onion. I think it's difficult finding enough versatility in many foods to make different meals for one or two people instead of reheating lots of left overs. For this recipe I chose to do a standard sausage preparation of boiling the sausage and then frying it with the sauerkraut. Regular spicy mustard is fine, however if you have mustard seed, definitely add it to the mixture! I don't like the texture of natural casing and always remove it after boiling.

Ingredients:
  • Fresh Italian sausage
  • Sauerkraut
  • Onion
  • Peppers
  • Mustard Seed
  • Garlic
  • Maple syrup, sugar, honey or some other sweetener

Directions:
  • Boil sausage in water for about 15 minutes
  • Drain and remove casings if desired
  • Brown sausages
  • Sautee sauerkraut, pepper and onions in pan
  • Add seasonings
  • Add sweetener
  • Cook until browned
  • Serve with bread, spicy mustard and extra maple syrup
Enjoy!
