[Guest guest]

Anyone know French and can tell me how to pronounce it?? :-)

 

Tempeh Choucroute Garnie (Crockpot recipe)

 

2 tbsp olive oil

8 oz tempeh, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips

8 oz vegetarian sausage links

1 medium-size yellow onion, chopped

12 oz small white white potatoes, halved or quartered

2 c sauerkraut, drained and rinsed

1/2 c Riesling or other white wine

1 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika

1/2 tsp caraway seeds

1/2 tsp juniper berries

1 c vegtable stock

salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tempeh

strips and cook until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the

tempeh with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the vegetarian sausage

links to the same skillet and cook until browned all over, about 5

minutes. Remove the links with a slotted spoon and set aside with the

tempeh.

 

2. Reheat the same skillet over medium heat, adding a little more oil

if necessary. Add the onion, cover, and cook until softened, about 5

minutes.

 

3. Transfer the onion to a 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Add the

potatoes, sauerkraut, wine, paprika, caraway seeds and juniper

berries. Pour in the stock, season with salt and pepper, cover and

cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.

 

4. ABout 20 minutes before serving time, add the tempeh and vegetarian

sausage links to teh cooker and stir gently to combine.

Notes - I didn't put in the wine last time (DH was taking

antibiotics), and I've never seen juniper berries... it tastes fine

without either! I didn't know what sausage to use, and it said

links... so I used breakfast sausage. In retrospect, probably should

have used a different kind - it was delicious, but I think maybe the

more German style (just had veggie brats the other day) would have

been better.

shoocroot garnee would be the nearest approximation.

handy at some point in time, LOL)
