Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/ gas 3. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large flameproof casserole dish or heavy-based pan. Fry the onions for 10-15 mins until soft. Add the wine and vinegar, along with the herbs and spices, and reduce to a glaze.

  • step 2

    Add the carrots, celery and garlic to the pan, mix well, then lay the wedges of cabbage on top. Snuggle the sausages and bacon between the cabbage chunks before pouring over the stock. Put the pan on the heat, bring to a simmer, then cover with a lid and cook in the oven for 1 hr 30 mins, stirring halfway through.

  • step 3

    Once cooked, serve in bowls with mashed potato, if you like.

This is quite tasty, so I can’t be too harsh, but….it’s not choucroute. It doesn’t taste anything like it either, with extra acidity, aniseed and garlicky flavours very different from what you get in choucroute garnie. Also, carrot and celery, but no boiled potato? Call it something different and…

This is not Choucroute, it's cabbage - the cabbage needs to be brine fermented first often with spices (eg: caraway, juniper). The suggestion of serving with mashed potato just shows that this is NOT Choucroute!

I agree. Choucroute is the French word for sauerkraut - so yes, the cabbage has to be fermented in brine. Usually with some juniper seeds. My Alsatian forefathers took their choucroute seriously!

Brilliant recipe! Tastes really authentic. We brown the sausages first.

It probably does taste good. But t's not choucroute.

question

Can you do a vegetarian version of this, maybe replace the meat with potato, or would it be too bland?

Hi - Adam from the Good Food cookery team here - You definitely could, although you're right it may be a touch bland. Someone below commented that they used veggie sausages - which sounds like a good option. Thanks

Perfectly nice recipe, but why call it choucroute garnie? There's no sauerkraut in it at all. Couldn't Tom think of a name for his dish?

I totally agree
