EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Sauerkraut, which translates as “sour cabbage” in German, is shredded cabbage that has been mixed with salt and allowed to ferment.

Apple varieties such as Cortland, Rome Beauty and Winesap remain flavorful and firm even after cooking.

I love this also, it is definitely addictive. I was going to make my version tonight, but will do this one instead. I forget about this one it seems, good thing I kept it in my recipe box. I don't always have an apple, so I usually add a fresh, thinly sliced carrot or two to mine. Also, don't always have barley, so I also used natural brown rice or just put them on top of a big mound of mashed potatoes.

Again, another "German" recipe with the BBQ sauce. It would not happen in Germany. The sauce is more like a gravy. When this dish is cooked with the right ingredients, it is a filling meal.
