Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 red onion , thinly slice
1 carrot, chopped
1 (28 1/2 oz) jar bavarian-style sweet sauerkraut
10 coriander seeds
10 black peppercorns
5 juniper berries
2 bay leaves
1 tsp dried thyme
1 (14 oz) can chicken broth
1 tbsp liquid smoke
1 cup dry white wine
3 lbs smoked ham hocks
1/2 lb chopped bacon
2 lbs assorted sausages ( bratwurst , kielbasa)

Directions:

In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium/high heat.
Sauté carrot and onion until they begin to brown, add the garlic, sauté 2 more minutes.
Add the sauerkraut, coriander seeds, peppercorns, juniper berries, bay leaves, thyme, liquid smoke, broth and wine; bring to a boil over medium high heat.
Lower the heat to a simmer, add the ham hocks and bacon, cover the meat with the kraut, place the cover on the pot and cook for 2 hrs (stirring occasionally).
Add the sausages and simmer for 2 more hours.
Dig in and enjoy.
Rye bread and German beer is good with this dish and a little Asbach afterwards.
