We aren’t quite ready for all the Christmas foods, but we want something hearty for a cold December day. We found the perfect quick recipe. This one is done in a skillet, and if you pick up the fermented sauerkraut, you know you’re getting a delicious meal, and you’re feeding your good gut bacteria too. That lesson on healthy guts is for another time. Until then, crack open a beer and enjoy this German delicacy.
