Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Add the sauerkraut to the skillet with the onions. Stir in 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    In a separate saucepan, add the blood sausage and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10-15 minutes, until heated through. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the pan and slice into rounds.

  5. 5

    To serve, place a generous portion of the sauerkraut mixture on each plate, add the diced potatoes, and top with the sliced blood sausage. Garnish with additional caraway seeds if desired.

  6. 6

    Enjoy your Jitrnice s Kysaným Zelím warm, paired with crusty bread or a light salad.
