sauerbraten.

Sauerbraten maybe?
Or a modification of such?
The recipes I googled do not have kraut or cabbage, but the overall
flavoring looks similar?

I dunno... I'd probably add capers, ground black pepper, onions, and
maybe some sliced 'taters if I was not low carbing. ;-)

Look up "corned beef" for additional spicing but the above may be enough
with some garlic treatment.

I'd have probably done a "stab roast" on the beef to start with. Sliver
several cloves of garlic, and take a fillet knife and stab the roast at
1" intervals and stick a sliver of garlic deep into the roast.

It's REALLY good that way!

I like to do that to roast pork shoulders, then I top it with fresh
herbs from the herb garden prior to roasting and cover with cabbage or
choy leaves to keep the herbs damp. The flavor soaks into the roast
better that way. I use a dutch oven.

Well whatever it was; it was better than fair closer to good but not
excellent (3 to 3.5 stars outa 5). I had 2 helpings. Will do this
again.

1 5-6 lb chuck roast
2 med onions chopped
1/2 cup beef broth
3/4 jar of wine saurkraut.
salt & pepper to taste

Put in crockpot cook on high 9-10 hrs with the lid on. I used a frozen
rock hard roast for this. Had a hellofa time getting it out of the
packaging. Nestled the roast in the kraut and onions, poured in the
broth. Then seasoned with just Salt and Pepper.

Started it around 8pm last night and put it in the fridge around 6:30
a.m. this morning. Reheated it and with some microwave cooked frozen
brocolli made supper tonight.

Have you heard of the English "bubble and squeak"? 200 years or so ago
it was called in England "long worts" vegetables but especially cabbage
and beef. Not made with "sauerkraut" but rather raw cabbage.

Bavarian Sauerbraten is closer but usually served with potato balls
though sauerkraut is sometimes used as a base to serve the meat and
veggies on.

There is an English style "hot pot" that includes beef and sauerkraut.

I have a number of recipes that cook the meat in various ways and serve
it over sauerkraut. Including a brisket of beef with sauerkraut and
dumpling dinner.

I am no authority on "bubble & squeak" but happen to have a recipe given
to me more than 30 years ago by an elderly English cook, it is quite
possible that she "tweaked" the recipe to appeal to her employers. But
here it is as it was written down for me.

Comments in brackets [...] are mine.

"For this dish, as for a Hash, select those parts of a roasted joint
that are least done [rarest]; it is usually made with slices of cold
boiled beef, sprinkled with a little pepper and just slightly browned
with a bit of butter in a frying pan. If fried too much it will become
hard.

Boil a cabbage, squeeze it quite dry, and chop it small. Take the beef
out of the frying pan and lay the cabbage in it. Sprinkle with a little
pepper and salt over it; keep the pan moving over the fire for a few
minuets; lay the cabbage in the middle of a serving platter and the meat
around it."

As far as i knew this was standard bubble and squeak but the person i
got the recipe from would accompany the dish with what she called "wow
wow sauce"

"Chop some parsley leaves very fine, quarter 2 or 3 dill pickles
[and/or] pickled walnuts and set them aside. Put into a sauce pan a bit
of butter as big as an egg; when it is melted stir in a tablespoon of
flour and about 1/2 pint of beef broth; add a tablespoon of vinegar, a
tablespoon of mushroom ketchup [preferably home made mushroom ketchup
but ordinary commercial ketchup will suffice] or port wine or both and a
teaspoonful of prepared mustard; let it simmer together till it is as
thick a you wish it, put in the reserved parsley and pickles to get warm
and pour it over the beef or rather send it up in a sauce tureen".

While i can not confirm the authenticity of the "bubble & squeak" i can
confirm it is qutie good, even with out the "wow wow" sauce, i usually
serve it with a generous quantity of garlic butter. But then i am very
fond of cabbage as a cooking ingrdient. I always put about 1/4 of a
head of raw cabbage, finely minced, in my 1 lb. meat loaf.

Well... as a citizen of UK I can tell you that Bubble and Squeak is not
like that now. Take an amount of leftover mashed potato and leftover
cabbage and fry in butter, well mixed, and than allowed to brown on one
side. Turn and allow the other side to be browed I don't serve it with
meat but with a fried egg on top and some bacon🙂

I'm not English but as a lowly American<G> I can tell you that B&S
(not to be confused with BS) is one of the most wonderful, satisfying
comfort foods you could possibly poison your body with. (apologies
for the dangling part.). And don't EVER desecrate the dish by making
it with anything besides lard. I like it cooked until the bottom is
almost completely black and hard as concrete. Great stuff. And the
best part is that the name can also refer to the temporary hobby one
develops after the dish is consumed. For close friends only to enjoy
together.

If I had to compare the two...

Colcannon = well seasoned mashed potatoes mixed with buttered cabbage and
served directly

Bubble & Squeak = cold boiled potatoes, not mashed but well chunked, mixed
with buttered cabbage, the whole being laid in a skillet with fat and
cooked 'til nicely browned

I've never heard of either of them containing meat, nor would I want it
added.

Chopped cabbage mixed into meatloaf sounds interesting.

Your definitions are correct...mostly. The first difference between them is
that colcannon is not fried. Bubble and squeak is a method for using up
leftovers. It is commonly found as you note, with left over potatoes and
left over cabbage. It used to be more common to use chopped left over
Brussels's sprouts from Sunday dinner. However any and all leftovers,
including meats, can be properly used in bubble and squeak. All ingredients
are smashed flat in the skillet and fried until well warmed. It bubbles and
squeaks in the pan to make you happy and hungry!

If I had to compare the two...

Colcannon = well seasoned mashed potatoes mixed with buttered cabbage
and served directly

Bubble & Squeak = cold boiled potatoes, not mashed but well chunked,
mixed with buttered cabbage, the whole being laid in a skillet with fat
and cooked 'til nicely browned

I've never heard of either of them containing meat, nor would I want it
added.

Chopped cabbage mixed into meatloaf sounds interesting.

Yes, I knew that and forgot to say that colcannon is made fresh and not
from leftovers, and is not fried. I have a bad habit of assuming that
some things are inherently "known". :-)

What I didn't know was that people actually added meat to bubble and
squeak. I've never had it served that way. I have had it made with
Brussels' sprouts, however, and I really like that almost better than with
cabbage.

Cheers, Charlie!

It is good with Brussels' sprouts isn't it! The meat used would be from the
Sunday dinner roast if any is left. Actually, it is pretty good with cooked
bacon chopped up, or crumbled if using streaky bacon. The smokiness of good
American bacon is especially good!

Cheers Wayne!

I love everything in the cabbage family, but especially Brussels sprouts.
Hmm... Never thought of bacon, but I think I'd like that even better than
roast. Will have to give that a try!

And to you, Charlie. I just got home from work a bit early, and I'm off to
the kitchen to pour a gin gibson and make some pizza dough.

have a great weekend!
