Sauerkraut Magic: 5 Creative Sauerkraut Recipes to Elevate Your Meals

Below are a handful of easy recipes that have used my sauerkraut recipe to elevate meals further. They're easy and delicious recipes to incorporate sauerkraut into your everyday meals. A little reminder that when you heat fermented products too hot that they lose a lot, if not all of their fermented qualities. This isn't always a bad thing as the flavour is still awesome. The extended version of each recipe is available by clicking on the headlines.
