Vegan Potato Sauerkraut Casserole

This is a warm, cozy and filling dish that you will love to feed your family and friends. It was originally a recipe handed down from my Grandma that we altered by omitting the meat that she typically used.

  2. Dice onions to 1/4" pieces. Set aside.

  3. Dice apples to 1/2" cubes and place in a bowl of cold water. 

  4. If using cabbage, shred coarsely. Measure out 1/2 cup of broth and set aside. 

  5. Sauté onions, using a splash of vegetable broth or water to loosen stuck bits of onion, scraping the pan as you splash the liquid in. Sauté until onions are soft. If using cabbage instead of sauerkraut, add the 1/2 cup of broth to the onions and remove from heat and set aside.
