Choucroute Garnie                                                       Time: 30 minutes

4 - 8 sausages, depending on size, about 12 oz total weight (350gr)
1 package/can/tin sauerkraut, 12- 14 oz (350 - 400gr)
1 tsp juniper berries
1 tsp black peppercorns  or 1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic
1 small onion
1 tbs olive oil
1 bay (laurel) leaf
1/2 cup white wine

Open and drain kraut.  Taste it, if it's really, really strong, rinse it briefly with cold water.  Chop onion and mince garlic. Heat oil in deep skillet.  Add onions and garlic and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.  Add drained kraut and all of the rest of the ingredients except sausages.  Stir to combine.  Lay sausages on top.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until sausages are done, about 20 minutes.  Stir once or twice to combine flavors. When done remove sausages to a platter, spoon kraut around (removing and discarding bay leaf) and serve.
