👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the pork lard or oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened and lightly golden.
2
Add the sauerkraut to the pot. If you prefer a milder flavor, rinse the sauerkraut under cold water before adding it.
3
Add the juniper berries, bay leaf, and caraway seeds (if using) to the sauerkraut. Pour in the water or beer.
4
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Gently place the Kranjska klobasa sausages on top of the sauerkraut. Ensure they are partially submerged in the liquid.
6
Cover the pot again and continue to simmer for another 30-40 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and heated evenly. The internal temperature should reach 71°C (160°F).
7
Serve the Kranjska klobasa hot, with a generous portion of the sauerkraut and cooking liquid. It is traditionally served with boiled or mashed potatoes.

💡 전문가 팁

✓Do not pierce the sausages before cooking, as this will cause them to lose their juices and flavor.
✓If you don't have Kranjska klobasa, other similar smoked pork sausages can be used, but the flavor will differ.
✓The sauerkraut can be cooked longer for a softer texture and more mellow flavor.
