This recipe is the most fantastic one to eat while watching a hockey or football game. In fact, I had this for dinner when the Red Sox won the World Series back in 2004. Had I had a hot dog or berger they would have most certainly lost.

Sausage ‘n Kraute

Serves 8

 

1         tablespoon  olive oil

1              pound  sauerkraut -- rinsed and drained

2                     onions -- thinly sliced

1           teaspoon  caraway seeds

1              pound  turkey kielbasa -- low fat

10            ounces  refrigerated pizza crust dough

1/4           cup  honey mustard

 

In a  large nonstick skillet heat the oil.  Add the sauerkraut, onions,

caraway seeds and a 1/2 cup of water; cook, covered, until the liquid

evaporates and the sauerkraut and onions are very tender, about 15 minutes.

Remove from the heat and cool completely.

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the kielbasa into 2 (8-inch) lengths,

then cut the pizza dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each

half of dough into a rectangle about 2 inches longer than the kielbasa and

wide enough to wrap around it. Spoon 1/2 of the sauerkraut mixture down the

center of each piece of dough, then place a kielbasa half on the sauerkraut.

Fold up the dough to enclose the kielbasa completely, pinching the edges to

seal. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Cut into slices; serve warm or at room temperature, with honey

mustard on the side.
