Method :

​

* Put lentils and water in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 30-40 min. until tender. Put sauerkraut & caraway seed in a Dutch oven. Begin warming sauerkraut. Shred cabbage and put into Dutch oven, but do not mix until cabbage has wilted ( 3-5 minutes). Mix & continue simmering them until cabbage is soft. Slice onion and saute in butter until soft (or continue cooking until brown, for a different taste) then slowly add flour to thicken mixture. Add to cabbage mixture. Drain lentils if necessary. Add lentils, salt & pepper to cabbage mixture and toss lightly. Simmer until flavors mingle. Serve hot.
* Serving Ideas : Serve with Sauteed Butter & Onion Noodles Saute 3 or 4 onions sliced in a cresant shape in butter. Cook noodles as usual. Mix together. Salt & pepper to taste. (We like to add 1/2 tablespoon of caraway seed to the cooking onions)
