Ingredients | Hungarian Sauerkraut

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 onion, finely chopped

1 cup finely chopped cooked ham

1 cup finely chopped corned beef

½ clove garlic, crushed

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups sauerkraut, drained and minced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

½ cup beef broth

1 egg

2 cups milk

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

4 cups fine dry bread crumbs

1 quart oil for frying

Directions

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook until softened. Stir in ham, corned beef and garlic. Cook mixture, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Stir in 6 tablespoons flour and cook mixture over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.

Stir in sauerkraut, parsley, and broth; cook for 3 minutes or until thickened and paste-like. Spread mixture on a platter and chill for at least 3 hours.

Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk and 2 1/2 cups flour. Shape the sauerkraut mixture by level teaspoons in to balls, dip them into the egg mixture and roll them in the bread crumbs.

Fry balls in batches for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve warm.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
