Ingredients

500 g sauerkraut
1 and 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons lard

Preparation procedure

Squeeze the sauerkraut and finely chop it on the cutting board. We like our sauerkraut quite sour at home, but you can rinse it with water to suit your taste.
Melt the sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan.
When it has a golden color, add the lard, stir and let it melt.
When the fat is heated, add the onion and sauté.
Add the sauerkraut, sauté briefly, then pour in hot water so it comes above the cabbage.
When the water starts to boil, cover the cabbage with a lid and simmer on low heat until the cabbage is soft (approx. 30 minutes).
Then remove the lid and let the water evaporate (but not completely, leave a little juice in the cabbage, it will be even better).
Serve with meat to taste.
