Sauerkraut

Method

• step 1

  Peel the potatoes. Slice in half and quarters. Now they should be roughly the same size. Boil for fifteen minutes and check if they are tender and smooth.

• step 2

  Drain the potatoes and return to the stove for a couple of minutes to dry them out.

• step 3

  Mash your potatoes. Add in the butter, milk and mozzarella.

• step 4

  Thinly, cut the onion. Smother oil in the pan. Place the onion into the pan and heat for two minutes.

• step 5

  Drain the sauerkraut (keep the liquid in case you prefer your stew more sour) and add to your mash.

• step 6

  Next is to add your choice of meat. I like corn mince with an onion, in this case let it simmer for 10 minutes (adjust time if you use fresh mince meat/bacon).

• step 7

  Mix in the mincemeat/onion and stir until all ingredients are mixed.

• step 8

  Place in a oven dish and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs.

• step 9

  Bake for 20 minutes without covering so that the top can get a crispy finish.

• step 10

  Make your own gravy. I like the gravy a bit thicker than I normally have with a roast meal.
