Baked Sauerkraut With Apples
"This German recipe is borrowed (with a tweak) from Recipes4us.co.uk. The original recipe calls for 120ml beef stock, but I wanted a vegetarian version. You could revert to the beef stock or replace my suggested vegetable stock with a small amount (say ½ teaspoon) of Marmite or Vegemite dissolved in 120ml of very hot water. Recipe posted for Zaar World Tour 2005."

I made this last night and it was the bomb. It was delicious I served it with a bone in pork loin roast and mashed potatoes and a tasty gravy. I was stuffed. Thanks for a great recipe. I usually buy a pork shoulder roast and slice it into a slab and stuff the roast with the sauerkraut and roll it up and bake it, which is also yummy. But this was so much easier and just as tasty. Loved the addition of the apples it gave it a little extra something. -
very good, we liked it a lot! Just made half a recipe for the two of us and served it with turkey/onion sausage and mash potatoes. the celery seed and the wine really make the recipe. We enjoyed it very much and will make it again, thanks for posting. -
This was my first experience with sauerkraut, and it was amazing. I used apple juice instead of the wine, as well. I make this about once a week, it's that good. ^^ -
I liked this but found it a little bitter from the wine I think. I added some more brown sugar before serving. Will make again with apple juice instead as another suggested. I beleive that may be a better option for me.Perhaps the wine I used was too dry for this- a riesling would probably be better suited. Great recipe! -
Sauerkraut is new food to me and I was so surprised I liked it... because it really doesn't look yummy! But I do... and this dish was so good! I really liked the apples and I believe the celery seed is a perfect complement for this side dish! Wonderful!

Mrs B
Worcester Park, Surrey
I live with my husband and 2 cats in Worcester Park; a quiet typical 1930s suburb (which no one has ever heard of!) about 12 miles South West of London.
I'm a fair weather gardener and as my husband is a vegetarian I grow a few easy vegetables, such as tomatoes and peppers, mainly in containers. My husband loves growing flowers, the brighter the better, and we have a pretty garden as a result. Our cats, Araminta and Purrl, like it too!
I do a lot of cooking and try to keep our diet as healthy and varied as possible. Although I work full time, I use very little in the way of pre-prepared foods. This is partly because of the limited choice of vegetarian meals, which I think are overpriced anyway; but mainly because I like to know what goes in my food!
I love using the Internet for all the great ideas it gives me. Last year I participated in the Zaar World Tour (under my previous public name Caroline Blakey), which was great. Mr B and I tried lots of new foods and discovered new favourite meals. Researching recipes for the Tour was really interesting, however as I didn't have time to try them all, some were posted untested. I'm still working my way very slowly through them. To make matters worse I keep seeing other recipes I want to save and have also participated in Zaar world Tour II. So many recipes, so little time to make them!

My 'rules' for posting recipes are a) if I wouldn't make a particular recipe, I won't post it and b) if my husband wouldn't eat it, I won't post it. This means that all my recipes are vegetarian friendly.
As you will see from the number of recipes saved in my cookbooks, I particularly enjoy making jams and chutneys; I'd say it was one of my favourite hobbies. We always have a good supply of home preserves; my friends and work colleagues are well supplied too.
If we won the lottery (say £5m, as a good number) we'd like to give up work, move to the country and buy a place with a bit of land. In my dreams this would be a manor house or old vicarage, with a walled garden, an orchard where I could keep hens, a vegetable garden, etc, etc, etc! In my more realistic moments (the £1m win perhaps) I would like to run a B&B, perhaps offering Vegetarian taster weekends. Luckily it costs nothing to dream.......I’d also love more time to read, do embroidery, learn a language, see more of the countryside; and of course play on Zaar.
