A new condiment...toasted sauerkraut

[gfweb]

I have invented a new condiment. Toasted Sauerkraut.

 

Take kraut (Hatfield) and cook it in a  convection oven (Breville) at 350 F until it looks like pipe tobacco.

 

It tastes like super sauerkraut with a hint of smokiness and a real back-of-the-tongue lingering flavor. Tasty.

 

I just can't figure out what the hell to do with it.  Perhaps on a charcuterie plate or on top of a steak?

 

Your thoughts...

I'm sure Kerry or FrogPrincesse could make a tasty beverage.

In the bag with sous vide brisket (or similar)?

On a hot dog. With dijon mustard. Served with a foam-topped iced papaya frappe. Or a beer, which is a lot easier to come by if you don't live near Papaya King.

On a Reuben. In corned beef hash.

I'd be eating it as a snack!  Dried kraut, dried apples and caraway.  

 

Sprinkled on top of mashed potatoes.  

 

I've got on my list to do freeze dried sauerkraut - figure it will be like the freeze dried kimchi - a perfect snacking food.

I've been making toasted 'kraut for years, since around 1979 or so.  I use it as a bit of crunchy topping when I make my Choucroute Garnie.

Unfortunately I have the patent.

 

Cease and desist!

Snacking is what I'm doing with it.  Apples and caraway are a great idea.

 

The caramelization from cooking may be adding something that FD wouldn't....

For sure - the FD would be different.  How about caramelized then FD'd for the crunch?
