Christmas Cabbage

Total Time: 24 hrs 20 mins Preparation Time: 24 hrs Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 2 bags sauerkraut
• 1 bag dried whole green peas
• 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
• 2 -3 tablespoons flour
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Recipe

• 1 follow the directions on the peas for reconstituting them.
• 2 i generally do the"quick" method of boiling water (but frankly, they never get soft enough and well, that's basically part of this recipe's charm).
• 3 after the peas have softened, drain them and combine with the sauerkraut and onion in a stock pot over medium heat.
• 4 stir occasionally so the sauerkraut and onions don't stick or burn.
• 5 the sauerkraut will give off more liquid as it heats which will help to cook the onions and get the peas a bit softer.
• 6 reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• 7 add in the butter and just enough flour to slightly thicken the mixture.
• 8 serve hot& it's actually better the second day.
