Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon Duck Fat or Rendered Bacon Fat
  • 1 Cup Onion, diced (Approx ½ onion, Spanish)
  • 1 Pinch Kosher Salt
  • 2-3 Strips Cooked Bacon diced
  • 1 LB Sauerkraut (from a bag), drained and rinsed
  • 1 Dollop Sour Cream (optional) to serve with

Instructions

  • In a large saute pan, heat the duck fat at the highest setting. When the fat shimmers and is really hot, carefully add in the onions and a good pinch of salt. Stir and allow to brown, then stir occasionally for another 5 minutes.
  • Add in the chopped bacon, mix well.
  • Add in the sauerkraut and mix well. Cook for 5 minutes on high, then reduce the heat to medium.
  • The sauerkraut is ready when it is golden brown and smells delicious.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

I like to eat this sauerkraut recipe with a dollop of sour cream right on top. I find that the two flavors just work perfectly together. Give it a shot- you might just love it!
