Tips

Bohemian sauerkraut, like so many other stews, tastes even better when reheated the next day.


Directions

First, we fry the bacon strips halfway, then adding chopped onion and garlic we cook this until it's all golden brown and the bacon is crispy. During the last 5 minutes, we add the caraway seeds, beef bouillon cube splenda and molasses to the pan.

Now we add the 2 cups of wine and the sauerkraut and let this come to a simmer. At this point, we grate the raw turnip into the mix!

After seasoning with paprika and black pepper, we mix the xanthan gum into the kraut.

Turn the heat to a low setting and simmer the dish for an hour or two.
