answer:This was very informative, as I had no idea what Choucroute was. Specifically I note “The sauerkraut itself is usually heated with a glass of Riesling or other dry white wines or stock, and goose or **** fat. In some recipes, it may also be cooked with chopped onion and sliced apples.” Apparently any good kraut can be used if properly prepared. Have you eaten this dish in it’s native country? If so, you might look for recipes from the specific locale, as otherwise you might be disappointed. It seems there’s a wide range, and “no fixed recipe for this dish.” Bon Appétit and pass the Pepto!
