Sauerkraut and Sausage Paprikash

DrGaellon's Note:

Blake Royer at Serious Eats adapted this from a recipe at _Simply Recipes_. In this case, "paprikash" refers to a stew with both paprika and sour cream.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 lb kielbasa , sliced 3/4-inch thick
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 medium onions , chopped
• 2 garlic cloves , minced
• 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
• ¾ teaspoon dried dill or 3 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
• ¾ teaspoon caraway seed
• ¾ cup beef broth or ¾ cup chicken broth
• ¾ cup water
• ½ lb baby potatoes , halved
• 1 ½ lbs sauerkraut , drained (if it is very salty or sweet, rinse it well)
• 1 cup sour cream

Directions:

1. Melt the butter in a large, heavy soup pot. Add the onion, garlic and paprika, and saute until the onion is translucent and very soft, 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the sausage and cook for a minute or two to begin rendering their fat. Add dill, caraway, broth, water and potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook 15 minutes.
3. Add sauerkraut. Stir well, cover and simmer another 15 minutes.
4. Add sour cream and stir until hot; do not let it boil.

I don't know what the previous reviewer was talking about because I see no country of origin for this dish. HOWEVER, this is one of the best comfort foods you'll find on this site! It was simple to make and economical. I followed the recipe as stated...then put it in a casserole dish and baked it at 350 F for 45 min. stirring occasionally. The broth absorbs into the potatoes and sauerkraut. Served with a dollop of sour cream, marble rye bread and butter...mmmm! Thank you for posting this delicious belly warming recipe DrGaellon.
