    I don’t really see a problem with this? How many meals do you eat a day? I might also bake a couple potatoes to add with it sometimes. Tons of nutrients and satiety in them

  2. You add a pork chop and some wurst in there and it becomes charcute garnie, which my wife and I eat all the time. Saeurkraut is excellent and a great source of vitamins. 

  3. I use turkey kielbasa, could put an apple in there for mildness or add some potato for satiety.

    Boiling and caraway seeds help with digestion. I usually cook it for a bit on its own. I like to mix
    in green beans at the end too.

    I discovered adding onion was the big trigger for me in fermented cabbage dishes; the fermentation also helps as kimchi has onions fermented in and is fine.

    Every christmas eve, my (slovak) family makes this, but as a soup! Sauerkraut, kielbasa, garlic, dried mushrooms, and a little black pepper. Throw it in a pot, add a bunch of water, and let it cook on medium low, uncovered, for several hours. You have to top up the water occasionally, but it’s unbelievably good when it’s done

    We used to do this as a staple and also, sausage, onions, peppers, and sliced potatoes (canned potatoes work well here). Filling and easy.

    Looks tasty. I keep the amount of cured meats pretty minimal tho as hey are carcinogenic.

    Edit, here is some more info:

    The World Health Organization categorizes processed meats as a class 1 carcinogen and the National Cancer Institute (part of NIH) and Cancer Research UK similarly, as a group 1 carcinogen. Those are the same categories as cigarettes and asbestos re: strength of evidence.

    The American Institute for Cancer Research and the American Society of Clinical Oncology recommend eating processed meats as little as possible and suggest there is no safe level of consumption.

    Don’t forget to pick up a nice Dijon mustard. I make this a lot but I oven roast small red potatoes with olive oil, salt pepper, garlic cloves to pair. But I often do one big meal a day

    This always makes me think of my mom. She and my dad had their own business., and they had a BBQ grill out back. She would wrap saurkraut, sausage, and black eye peas in foil and throw the pouches on the grill for lunch.

    Cured meats aren’t great to keep on a daily basis though. That’s the main reason I wouldn’t, but if you’re ok with it and it’s a good cheap option then it’s fine

    Whoa. I’m doing this. Does anyone else have easy meals like this that require little to no prep and/or can be reheated later?

    I have ADHD and can’t for the life of me give a shit about meal prep. I make poor choices when I am hungry but too lazy or ill equipped to cook. Any slop meals that can reach my nutritional needs would be appreciated

    I like to add onions, jalapeños and mustard when I do this. Deffo one of my staple meals

  13. I am Polish and I can tell you right now that Polish food is generally not very healthy

  14. I like to keep homemade sauerkraut in the fridge for this very meal. You can also substitute beyond sausage if you want less meat. It’s a great, easy lunch to bring to work.
