There’s nothing like sauerkraut to add a perfectly sour, tart flavor to a recipe; it creates an unexpected bite and a layer of flavor that can take a dish to the next level. But sauerkraut can also be a chameleon, bringing dimension to a wide variety of dishes, from cold salads to warm pork. When some people think of cabbage, they don't often have fond memories, but there are those who can walk into a room and be brought back to a better time when they smell sauerkraut. Many enjoy the side topping their hot dogs at a baseball game. Others pair this classic with a pork or brisket. Some enjoy it all by itself. In the spirit of getting the most out of this fermented favorite, we’ve gathered a few of our favorite sauerkraut recipes. From cold cabbage salads to one dish skillet supper to warm brisket, we hope you find a new way to enjoy this classic flavor!
