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.

Source: Home made.

Cream sauce with Vin Jaune

This sauce made with Vin Jaune ("yellow wine") is emblematic of Comtoise cuisine from Eastern France. It combines the smoothness of cream with the slight acidity and typical flavour of the Vin Jaune. The tricky aspect of cooking with Vin Jaune is that its fugitive flavour tends to disappear when cooked for any length of time. You will notice that this recipe uses a particular way of finishing the sauce to limit this loss of flavour.
