Sauerkraut

[BarlowEnter]

Oh no you let the good stuff fall out! 2:44

[XtremelyAnonymous420]

If you don't eat pork you can easily substitute chicken/turkey bacon or turkey kielbasa!

I brown the turkey bacon in the pot, try to let it cook long enough so it sticks to the bottom of the pan. than when u add the sauerkraut, scrap the bottom of the pan thoroughly. It add's a great flavor !!

[ChefTips]

@XtremelyAnonymous420 Yes, we use chicken-apple sausages for my wife all the time. Thanks for your tips and comment!

[Arrowshift]

@dustyn1986 It's called nutmeg

[dustyn1986]

in this part of germany you can add some bacon cubed up , put 2 apples in cook it good put some white vinegar in and add some muscatnut? dont know how u call it over there hf ;)

[ChefTips]

@dustyn1986

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing all the way from Germany! I don't believe I have ever come across Muscat Nut here in California. I sounds good!

Cheers!

[bezzimot]

@ChefTips he means nutmeg.

[happydrinkig]

@ChefTips its nutmeg:-)

[simantov666]

ey man, the idea to serve it in a roll is brilliant. ya should try to get a patent on it. that might become a alternative fast food in future. this recipe has the quality to beat out all tacos or döners or burgers. thumbs up^^^^^^^^

[ChefTips]

@simantov666

Ha ha! Thanks!

[simantov666]

yummie yummie ! - here in bavaria every family gotz its own sauerkraut recipe. but you gotta put an apple in. thatz a must. and at the end you should rab 1/2 potato in with a grater. that thickens it a bit. if ya want it a bit fruity, take instead of the apple a can of sliced pineappes. tastes super. guten appetit.

[ChefTips]

@simantov666 Thanks for the great tips!

[RuneHells]

Oktoberfest, idky but it reminds me of Runescape o-o

[37mamak]

whit bradwörst =) haha that sounded very funny...i'm german ...omg if you guys celebrate these festivals i understand the kind of impression everybody has when it comes to the germans /krauts=D

[wulf2700]

It is eaten but not at the Oktoberfest! There is a lot harder!

Roast pork, pork knuckle, stews and much more! Greetings from Berlin

Germany Jessy

[ChefTips]

@wulf2700 Thanks for commenting! Here in California, everyone makes sauekraut for Oktoberfest. We will make a more authentic meal next year! Cheers, Jason

[HerrSpieldose]

there is no Oktoberfest like Oktoberfest in München...  das Krautkuche schmenkt sehr gut!

[Michaelmop]

Damn I'm hungry all of a sudden.. DAMN U BRATWURST + SAUERKRAUT!

[AriusDural]

Kraut, Zwiebeln, Speck, einen Apfel mitkochen, Nelken, Lorbeerblätter.

Kraut, onions, german bacon looks leaner (google Speck), cook an apple (not a green one) and bay leafs with the kraut, add cloves. that's what i know of my mother's recipe. i guess i'm missing some things but that's in there for sure.

and considering the sausages. until the coals burn down put them in a bath of water. sprinkle them with beer while they are on the grill. drowning them in beer is a waste of beer though.

[RheingoldxxL]

Garlic with Sauerkraut???

... how strange is that?

[panzerveps]

ahhhh.. my favorite!

ate alot of this in berlin this christmas!

[nenahbball]

In germany, young adults are allowed to drink, it is part of the heritage. I like the show Jason. I live in wisconsin and I swear by melting butter, beer and kraut in a pan on a (charcoal) grill. I was disappointed you used gas. Then putting the brats in to par boil sort of speak and the grill them to late put back in the butter and beer. Next time come to the Oktoberfest in La Crosse, WI. I'm told it is the biggest and best in the US

[JoeHell67]

Hi,

why do we germans celebrate Halloween? ;-)

'cause it's fun!!

btw. it's a myth that the alcohol evaporates completely when you cook it.... so it's a good thing to leave it out or substitute it if you serve the food to kids...

Joe from Germany

[ChefTips]

@JoeHell67

I have heard about that being a myth. I have not looked to deep into it yet. Any suggestions where to find some true information on this. Thanks Joe!

Jason

[JoeHell67]

Hi Jason,

i first heard it from a german Chef

(Tim Maelzer) on his TV show..

Check this one..

ochef(dot)com(slash)165(dot)(h­tm)

type it without spaces, hope you get it, if not, please let me know..

Joe from Germany

[CrimsonsDeath12]

Why do they have oktoberfest in america?

[ChefTips]

There are a lot of German immigrants here who love to celebrate this holiday. And Americans like to join in the fun!

[CrimsonsDeath12]

Ah k thanks love your vid! Keep up the good work! =)

[alogli]

cause it's awesome!

i should know... i'm a bavarian!

[SteveInFlorida]

Because in America, we are obsessed with partying, and any and all occasions are a good reason to party!! Woo-hooooo!!!!

[scottgriffin79]

@CrimsonsDeath12

We also celebrate it because it gives us another reason to drink!!!!!

[JoeHell67]

Hi,

that's cool! I had a Grill Party a few weeks ago and we put the brats and the Sauerkraut together on the bun for the kids and the loved it!

It's a good idea, 'cause kids wanna run around in the back yard, this way they can eat some out of their hand!

Of course I passed on the Riesling for 'da kids'

In Germany you can buy Sauerkraut with diced Pineapple in it so be creative!

Greetings from Bavaria!

Joe

[ChefTips]

Hello Joe!

Thanks for the diced pineapple idea. That sounds really good.

Thanks so much for taking the time and commenting.

Cheers!

Jason

[DrFakkamann]

Why passing the Riesling for the kids? after cooking there should be no alcohol left.

greetings from hamburg!

[flagyou]

rinsing the kraut makes it less intense and easier for most people to eat

[sandyClaws999]

It´s so cute how do you say: Bratwurst and Sauerkraut! We don´t eat Sauerkraut and Bratwurst in a sandwich. Garlic in Sauerkraut is new too. But I will try to cook this recipe.

Greets from Munich and the real Oktoberfest. :)

[ChefTips]

Greets! Your comment put a smile on my face! :)

I hope to visit the real Oktoberfest someday!

Thank you.

Jason

[maxlhuaber]

[ChefTips]

Really?

Oh well, at least it tastes good!

[wagner1337]

Good 2 go,

[ChefTips]

[chefcommons]

Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)

[misststx]

i just learned about sauerkraut in texas studiessXD

[ChefTips]

Cool! =]

[kotzbrocken]

i An german.

I've never seen somebody eat it like that.^^

[ChefTips]

Lol! Danke!

[DCROSS67]

This recipe sounds great Jason but when I went to two local grocery stores I found gathering the ingredients for this dish impossible.

Juniper Berries where not to be found in the spice aisle at two stores I looked at and also could not find a real "German Riesling" wine. I can get the Juniper Berries online but was hoping you could recommend an American made Riesling or what quality's (peach, apricot..etc) I should look for in the wine.. Thanks Chef!!

[ChefTips]

Hi there. You can use a regular riesling or Gewurztraminer wine. Any type will do. It just adds a bit of sweetness to the kraut. The juniper berries add a unique flavor to the dish, so if you order them online, you'll have enough to last you quite a while.

Thanks! Jason

[CREATIVEMIND59]

i am definitely going to try this. what did you put on it at the end?

[ChefTips]

That was mustard.  I should have mentioned that in the video!

[ChefTips]

That was a horseradish sauce, which you can make yourself mixing a bit of mayo or sour cream with horseradish paste. You can just use mayo if you like!

[patrick10001]

love zuurkool(A)!!

[Anathema2009]

I dont eat pork. could I sub the bacon with turkey bacon and the wurst with turkey kilbasa or sausage? thanks

[ChefTips]

Definitely! My wife does not eat meat either, so this would work just fine. Enjoy! Jason

[MatteNoob]

[ChefTips]

[ChefTips]

Thanks!

[R3700]

What the best type of beer to soak your bratwursts in? Or is it just what ever kind you like?

[ChefTips]

Good question. I soaked mine in Miller Lite because it was the only beer I had in the fridge.  It was good, but I prefer Newcastle for marinading pork...

[passiveMenis]

That's as Deutsch as it gets, damn.

[ChefTips]

Thanks for the positive comment!

[AsktheBuilder]

Jason,

My favorite - sauerkraut!!!!! I'm going to try this one for sure.

Too bad I can't tell you my grandmothers secret sauerkraut recipe!

[ChefTips]

Thanks!

I bet your grandmothers recipe is a lot better than this one. =]

[tmltj]

Great video. I was drinking all day at work today (don't tell my boss), and when I got home I saw this kickass recipe on YouTube. After 8 or 9 more beers I cooked up one of these brats. Man, did it taste great. My wife even took a bite of my sausage too. Thanks ChefTips.

[ososita]

Oh my!! This looks soooooo tasty!!!!

[ChefTips]

Thanks ososita!

[DustinHsiao]

Mmmm. I love sauerkraut, it's so very versatile.

Cheers,

[ChefTips]

Hey Dustin! Thanks for commenting. I posted a reply to your pumpkin soup comment, but my replies did not register. So thanks for commenting on that one too.

Cheers,

Jasoon

[DustinHsiao]

No worries. It's the least I could do; you spend a lot of time and effort making videos to educate and entertain us.

Best,

Dustin
