Italian Sausage Condiment

Ingredients

  • 1 green pepper sliced at least 1/4" thick
  • 1 red pepper sliced at least 1/4" thick
  • 1 Spanish onion sliced about 1/4" thick
  • 1 lb fresh mushrooms slicked about 1/4" thick
  • 2 large garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 oz can tomato paste

Instructions

  • Fry the peppers, onion, mushrooms, and garlic in the olive oil over medium-high heat until starting to wilt
  • Cover and lower heat to medium and cook stirring occasionally until the vegetables give up their liquid
  • Add in the tomato paste and stir thoroughly
  • Lower the heat to medium-low, cover and cook an additional 15 minutes.

Notes

Tip! You can either serve hot, warm, or cold. It is also great to let your COOKED Italian sausage stew in this for about 30 minutes and then serve over pasta, polenta, rice, or in a bun.
My kids and I also like to eat this with a spoon directly out of the refrigerator!

The Best Sauerkraut

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Sauerkraut, drained but not rinsed (bag or jar, not canned)
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 red apple cored and sliced thin (skin left on)
  • 1 small onion sliced thin
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds

  • 1 c water or dry white wine

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a large fry pan and cook covered over medium low heat until hot and onion and apple are tender
  • Put bratwurst links on top of the sauerkraut as it is cooking. This will steam the brats and the drippings will give the sauerkraut a great flavor.
