Ingredients

1 bunch of parsley
600 g plain uncooked fermented sauerkraut
1 bay leaf
1 garlic clove
2 medium onions
1 apple
2 tbsp unsalted butter
300 ml ready-to-use liquid vegetable broth

Preparation

Step completed · 1
Soak the sauerkraut in cold water to soften its acidity, then drain and squeeze it with your hands. Peel the onions and garlic. Slice the onions, chop the garlic and dice the apple piece, removing its core. Wash the parsley.
Use for the recipe: half a bunch of parsley (prepare 1 bunch of parsley).
Use for the recipe: half a garlic clove (prepare 1 garlic clove).
Use for the recipe: a quarter of an apple (prepare 1 apple).
Step completed · 2
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onions, garlic and apple. Cook gently until the onions are translucent. Add the sugar and stir until lightly caramelised, without burning the aromatics.
Step completed · 3
Add the sauerkraut, white wine, broth, salt and pepper. Add the parsley, bay leaf, cloves and juniper berries. Cover and braise gently for up to 80 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Avoid a hard boil that would evaporate the liquid too quickly.
Step completed · 4
Remove the parsley stems, bay leaf, cloves and juniper berries.
