A real mans sausage fry
This is not for the faint hearted or politically correct.
Take half an onion and slice it thin. Also take several garlic cloves and smash them. Put the onion and garlic in a pan and cook it up with some butter or oil. better yet use lard! Add some pieces of bacon and or salt pork and cook everything until the onions start to brown and the bacon gets crispy. When the pan starts to take some color add about a cup of un drained sauerkraut, some salt and pepper, caraway seeds, thyme, some chopped up apple, a dab of tomato sauce, and about a quarter to half a can of your favorite beer. You can also add some shredded potato this will add some body to your dish. To this add either some knockwurst, or bratwurst, Polish Kielbasa, game sausage, or hot dogs. Do not add Italian sausage or seafood sausage. Cook everything together until the liquid starts to evaporate and the sausages start to take on some color. Add a little bit more beer if the pan starts to get too brown. Oh, and be sure to cook this all rapidly over a very high heat.
Make a sauce for this by combining a tablespoon of curry powder with a teaspoon of paprika. Dissolve this by diluting it in some beer or water and then add as much ketchup as you like. This is an authentic Berliner curry ketchup sauce that is immensely popular all over Germany and is served on bratwurst.
Drink beer with this. Burp.
Afterwards, battle the forces of evil, race fast cars, shoot targets, jump out of airplanes, watch James Bond movies or war movies, build a log cabin, and drink Alka-Seltzer. Yeehaw!
I kind of like the way it sounds, I'll probably make some variations on it, give it some more kick, but its got potential.
Sauerkraut is awesome!
Blah! It's like drinking near beer (kinderbier). Sauerkraut is like Asparagus or Liver, it's either really great or very bad. I've had both bad tasting and good tasting saurkraut from a few major brands.
Yum, Sounds excellent. I'll try it. Thanks.
Oh, BTW folks - lots of really good food starts out like this - nasty sounding ingredients, and cooking it fast - But the end result is great. I line-cooked for a while at one time.
And there are a LOOOT of folks out there who put just about everything in the world into their chili. (Except beans) You know who you are.
I'd say it would take a real man to drive himself to the ER after that! A girly man would call an ambulance and pass out on the floor.
As I'm a real woman, I wouldn't eat it in the first place!
In college I worked for a pizza delivery place and one of the ingredients they offered was sauerkraut...yecchh. On one or two occasions I actually had to make one.
An-ti-ci-paaaa-tion! LOL!!
My recipe is similar but I will have to try the apples.
Not a conservative man, but I sure will try this recipe! Sounds wonderful to me. Thanks so much for posting it!
Your pie recipe is a joke right?
I love sauerkraut! Someone has to!
Has anyone drunk Saurkraut juice - they sell it in cans ice cold in the mid west somewhere. Also they say kraut is good with pineapples!
Just reading about it has me salivating like Pavlov's dog.
