Comment

I have never had this in Germany, but it could certainly be a recipe from there! This could be served when you normally would use sauerkraut, like on sausages or hot dogs, as a side, etc. If using bought sauerkraut be sure to use German tins as they do not have all the chemicals USA adds, or better use the kraut you made.

Options would be to add some celery seeds, more parsley, and some apple cider vinegar (or an apple) for an additional sour-sweet flavor.
