Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds fresh bratwurst links, casings removed
  • 1 onion, halved and thinly sliced into half rings
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons fennel seed
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can Bavarian-style sauerkraut, undrained
  • 3 cups uncooked white rice
  • 1 tablespoon chicken soup base (paste)
  • 6 cups water
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook Bratwurst until browned, breaking it up into chunks as it cooks, about 10 minutes.

Step 2
Stir in onions and garlic, and cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in fennel seed and sauerkraut with juice, and allow the mixture to pan-fry for 2 minutes without stirring.

Step 3
Stir in rice and soup base until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in water, raisins, and black pepper. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.

Step 4
Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until rice is tender and almost all the water has been absorbed, about 30 minutes.

Tips

I like to use Bratwurst sausages in casing that I can remove before cooking instead of buying it ground. That way when I fry it in the pan and break it up, I can leave big chunks as well as smaller ground meat.
