Sauerkraut with duck fat

Sauerkraut recipe with duck fat

Always a great moment with sauerkraut, I like this typical Alsatian dish, I especially like its generosity with its ton of meat. Sauerkraut with duck fat, what is even more exceptional is that every time you heat up your sauerkraut, it will take on more flavor. Cooking in the oven is interesting for this kind of dish: in fact it will never burn, with the rotating heat the cooking is perfect. Of course this duck fat sauerkraut can be flavored while cooking with white wine or beer, there are two schools, the choice is yours. I made pan-fried duck yesterday and of course, I kept the duck fat for this beautiful sauerkraut which took on a beautiful golden yellow color with this fat. Every time I make a sauerkraut, I always freeze some of it, for the day when I don’t have time to cook and frankly, I love this moment when I sit down at the table, just to taste my sauerkraut at duck fat.
