Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 20 min.

Prepare 1 onion. Peel and wash 300 g potatoes. If they are large, cut into four.

Stage 2 - 4 min.

Melt 2 tablespoons goose fat in a large pan over medium heat. When hot, add the chopped onion, salt and pepper, and cook for 3 or 4 minutes until the onion begins to colour.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Add 1 kg raw sauerkraut and 2 glasses dry white wine and stir well.

Stage 4 - 40 min.

Add the potatoes, stir again, cover and leave to simmer on low heat until the potatoes are cooked (when the point of a knife will pass through them easily), about 40 minutes.

Stage 5 - 10 min.

Meanwhile, shell 150 g prawns and cut the chosen fish into pieces.

Coat the top with olive oil, using a brush, then salt and pepper. Do the same on the other side.

Stage 6 - 4 min.

Put a non-stick pan on high heat. When very hot, add the pieces of fish and cook for 1 or 2 minutes until lightly browned on both sides.

Set aside.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

In the same pan, fry the prawns for 2 or 3 minutes until they brown slightly.

Set aside.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Pour 4 tablespoons dry white wine into the pan and deglaze.

Stage 9 - 10 min.

Pour this liquid into the pan of sauerkraut and stir in. Lay the fish and prawns on top.

Cover and leave to cook for a further 10 minutes.

Your seafood sauerkraut is ready.

Remarks

For the photos, I used salmon and pollack, but other fish are just as good, so you can use your imagimation.

Like all slow-cooked dishes, this can be reheated and gets better each time.

Keeping

Several days in the fridge and it freezes well.
