Notes
I’ve seen similar recipes called German Sauerkraut, Sweet and Sour Kraut, Red Sauerkraut, and Croatian Sauerkraut. The vary in the amount of sugar, choice of protein, addition of garlic or herbs, and other veggies being added. Clearly this is a very flexible dish centered around the pairing of kraut and tomatoes.
