Ingredients

  • 1 kg sauerkraut, drained
  • ½ tsp caraway seeds
  • 10 juniper berries
  • 2 cloves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 litre vegetable stock
  • 30 ml cider vinegar
  • 200 g speck, cut into 2 cm slices
  • 2 Morteau sausages, cut into 1 cm slices
  • 1 Lyonnaise sausage, cut into 1 cm slices
  • 1 Toulouse sausage
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 8 baby turnips, halved
  • 8 baby carrots, peeled and quartered
  • 4 baby leeks, whites only, 5 cm batons
  • 12 baby potatoes, peeled and cooked
  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • wholegrain mustard, optional

Instructions

  1. In a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat, combine the sauerkraut, caraway seeds, juniper berries, cloves, bay leaf, half the vegetable stock and the cider vinegar.
  2. Once the cabbage is hot, add the speck and sliced sausages to the pan. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the sausage flavours infuse into the cabbage.
  3. Meanwhile, in a separate large saucepan, melt the butter over a medium-high heat. When hot, add the turnips and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining vegetable stock, carrots, and leeks and cook until tender. Add the potatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until heated through.
  4. While the vegetables are cooking, in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, cook the Toulouse sausage until hot. Add the Toulouse sausage to the sauerkraut pan.
  5. To serve, divide choucroute between bowls. Spoon over the vegetables and baby potatoes and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with wholegrain mustard on the side if you like!
