Description:
Time: 1 hr 40 min (10 min to prepare, 1 hr 30 min to cook)
Meal type: Side Dish
Ethnicity:
Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 pound (about 1 deli pint) fresh sauerkraut
2 tablespoons light oil (sunflower, etc.)
0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
1 cup plain tomato sauce or unseasoned tomato juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Directions:
Drain the sauerkraut well of all juice. Place in a mixing bowl and cover completely in cold water. Allow to stand in the water for 30 to 40 minutes. Then place into a colander or strainer and drain very well, pressing out as much water as possible.

Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sauerkraut, stirring well to coat, and sauté for about five minutes, turning frequently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Add the pepper and tomato sauce or tomato juice. Stir well. Lower heat to low, cover, and braise for about 50 minutes.

Stir occasionally, adding a little water if it gets too dry. Stir in the salt and paprika, cover, and braise for another ten minutes.

Variation:

Add 1/4 cup dry white wine (preferably Romanian :-) with the salt and paprika.
