Add shredded carrots for color? https://www.leaf.tv/articles/how-to-cook-prepackaged-sauerkraut/ > Whether it's homemade or already packaged in a can, jar, or plastic vacuum-pack, sauerkraut is almost always preserved in a natural pickling brine, a vinegar solution, or even white wine. Some recipes call for cooking the kraut in this liquid, while others say to drain and rinse. There's no hard and fast rule, so feel free to taste the liquid and see if you're into it. If so, set it aside to use; if you can't handle the flavor, skip it. > Start cooking by sautéing some onions in olive oil, then add the sauerkraut. Add roughly 2/3 to 3/4 cup of liquid per pound of sauerkraut; it can be the liquid it came in, water, broth, beer, white wine, apple juice—whatever you like. Let it simmer for an hour or so until it softens. Other sources say thirty minutes. https://www.livestrong.com/article/448263-how-do-i-cook-packaged-sauerkraut/ > Cooking packaged sauerkraut can be as simple as popping it into the microwave, but the longer you cook packaged sauerkraut, the milder it becomes. > Place the sauerkraut into a pot and barely cover it with water. […] Bring the liquid in the pot to a boil. […] Set the lid onto the pot and turn the burner down to its lowest setting. Let the sauerkraut simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Maybe: drain but don't rinse, simmer for twenty-five minutes? There's so much variation in the recipes, I assume there's wide latitude in acceptable preparation. (But double check that the kind I bought doesn't come pre-cooked.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7nob0yLF-U Called Yvonne to ask her about the white beans and sauerkraut dish she made. She had no memory of it, but gave me her party-favorite recipe for "Jezebel": pineapple preserves, mixed with fresh horseradish, poured over cream cheese, served with crackers.
