| Time: | 1 hr 40 min (10 min to prepare, 1 hr 30 min to cook) | |

| 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. |
