Ingredients
- 90 g Sauerkraut
- 45 g Bratwurst
- 35 g Kielbasa
- 5 g Vegetable oil
- 30 g Onions, raw
- 60 g Wine, white
- 0.3 g Allspice

- 180 g Potatoes, raw
- 10 g Butter, unsalted
Method

- Warm the oil in a large pot, add the onion and cook until soft.
- Add the sauerkraut, wine, allspice, bay leaf and pepper, and nestle the sausages on top.
- Cover and simmer gently for 45-60 minutes until the sausages are cooked through (74°C/165°F) and the sauerkraut is tender and mellow.

- Serve the sauerkraut and sausages with the buttered potatoes and mustard; go easy on any extra salt, as the sausages and kraut are already salty.
