Our simple, rustic and traditional German recipe is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
The classic German combination of späetzle and sauerkraut make this recipe ideal for a small meal, or served as a side dish, complementing a Bratwurst, backyard barbecue, or a delicious Sunday meal when paired with pork roast.
In a pot, bring water to a boil for späetzle. Simmer sauerkraut in a pot with 3 tbsp. water on low heat for 15 minutes. Cut bacon into 1¼" pieces.
Cook bacon in a pan without oil on medium heat for around 3 minutes on each side until crispy and brown. Then allow bacon to drain on a paper towel. Meanwhile, peel and finely chop onion.
Set aside some sprigs of thyme for garnish, and pluck remaining leaves from stems. Add späetzle and 1 tbsp. salt into boiling water and boil for around 2 minutes until the spaetzle float on the surface. Then remove spaetzle.
Heat 1 tbsp. oil in previously used pan and cook onion and thyme leaves at medium heat for 2 minutes. Add sauerkraut, honey and mustard, mixing thoroughly.
Also add späetzle and butter into pan and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
