Vegan Choucroute Garnie

The Alsace region of France is spectacular and unique. Due to its location near the German border, it has a French-German feel in architecture, culture and food traditions. Thus, one of their most traditional dishes—charcoute (which means sauerkraut in French) garnie—feels very German. I visited Alsace more than 25 years ago, and then again for my honeymoon 5 years later. Ever since, this dish has been rolling around in my head, and with today’s new love affair for fermented foods, I thought about resurrecting it in a modern, simple, healthier plant-based version. Alors, voila, c’est ici! My vegan chourcroute garnie!

I love the juxtaposition of the salty, pickled flavors of fresh sauerkraut with earthy, sweet root vegetables and savory vegan sausages. This one-dish Vegan Choucroute Garnie can be whipped up in no time, but if you have a little bit of extra energy, try creating home-made vegan sausages to make it even more special.
