This classic sauerkraut with apples is a beautifully balanced vegetarian side dish that brings a sophisticated touch to any table. Slowly simmered in dry white wine, the sharp tang of the fermented cabbage is mellowed by the natural sweetness of Gala or Fuji apples and a hint of dark brown sugar. It creates a complex, savoury flavour profile that feels both traditional and refined, making it an excellent accompaniment for festive feasts or simple autumn suppers.
Hearty and naturally gluten-free, this dish is particularly wonderful when served alongside roasted root vegetables, vegetarian sausages or a rich nut roast. The long, slow cooking process ensures the sauerkraut becomes incredibly tender, allowing the flavours to meld together perfectly. For the best results, serve it with a crisp glass of Gewürztraminer to complement the aromatic fruit notes.
