Sauerkraut fried in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry sauerkraut in a frying pan? Prepare the products. Take sauerkraut with classic salt, without additives. Sauerkraut with different berries, apples and horseradish will not work. Preferably, if it is homemade cabbage of your own pickling. Vegetable oil can be anything: both inexpensive sunflower oil and elite olive oil, but necessarily refined — only in this case the oil will not burn in a frying pan.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onion and cut it into half rings or cubes, it doesn't matter.

3. Step 3:

   

   In the frying pan in which you will fry the cabbage, heat the vegetable oil. Put the onion in it.

4. Step 4:

   

   Fry the onion until light golden brown. Usually on medium heat it takes about 5-7 minutes.

5. Step 5:

   

   Drain the brine from the cabbage and squeeze it well.

7. Step 6:

   

   Add the cabbage to the onion in the pan and mix everything well.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add salt. Do not overdo it with salt: keep in mind that the cabbage is already salty enough. Perhaps you can do without salt at all. At this stage, you can add some of your favorite seasonings to the dish. For my taste, cumin, thyme or rosemary will be very appropriate. Or maybe you want to make the dish more satisfying and add chopped smoked meats: sausages, sausages, bacon are perfect here.

9. Step 8:

   

   Simmer the cabbage on low heat for about 30 minutes. If the cabbage starts to burn, add a little water and cover the pan with a lid. Sauerkraut is cooked for quite a long time, then it loses its crispness and becomes soft and juicy. If you like crispy cabbage more, then fry it less.

    An excellent side dish in the form of fried sauerkraut is ready. Serve it to the table. Bon appetit!
