How to Make Sauerkraut And Sausage Paprikash

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, along with 2 tablespoons sweet paprika. Sauté until the onion is translucent and very soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned and some of the fat renders.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh dill, 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, 2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup water, and 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer, partially cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  6. Add 16 ounces (1 large bag) sauerkraut, drained well.
  7. Stir well to combine, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream. Stir gently until just heated through. Do not boil.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh dill, if desired.
