Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 6 cups water
• 3 cups uncooked white rice
• 2 teaspoons fennel seed
• 1 onion, halved and thinly sliced into half rings
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can Bavarian-style sauerkraut, undrained
• 1 tablespoon chicken soup base (paste)
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup raisins
• 1.5 pounds fresh bratwurst links, casings removed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook Bratwurst until browned, breaking it up into chunks as it cooks, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in onions and garlic, and cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in fennel seed and sauerkraut with juice, and allow the mixture to pan-fry for 2 minutes without stirring.

Step 3

Stir in rice and soup base until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in water, raisins, and black pepper. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until rice is tender and almost all the water has been absorbed, about 30 minutes.
