Bavarian Stew with Sausage and Sauerkraut

Recipe Brought to you by FoodFit

This recipe serves: 8
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour 15 minutes

3/4 lb. reduced-fat sausage, sliced or crumbled
1 lb. beef sirloin, cubed
1 lb. lower sodium, lean ham, cubed
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1/4 cup sweet paprika
1/2 lb. sauerkraut, rinsed well (not the canned variety)
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
4 sprigs parsley
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 pounds new potatoes, quartered, steamed


Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the sausage. Brown
well, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Add the
beef and ham to the skillet and brown on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Set aside. In a large saucepan heat the canola oil over a medium heat and
saute the onions until translucent, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and
pepper. Sprinkle the paprika over the onions and cook, stirring until
thick and the raw aroma is gone. Add the sauerkraut, stock, bay leaves,
thyme, parsley sprigs, and caraway seeds and stir to combine. Bring to a
boil and then reduce the heat, cover and cook for 45 minutes. Add the
sausage, beef and ham and continue cooking for 10 minutes more. Season
with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the stew with the steamed new
potatoes.
