GERMAN MEATBALLS WITH SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Soak the white bread for a couple of minutes in cold water.

• Form small meatballs about the size of a walnut, and set them aside.
• Combine: Place the sauerkraut in a larger pot with the tomato paste, bay leaves, and sugar. Add enough water to almost cover the sauerkraut. Bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and add the meatballs.
• Simmer: Cover the pot tightly and simmer everything for about 20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through, stirring from time to time and taking care not to break the meatballs. Add a little more water if you feel that too much of it has evaporated. I added about ½ cup more during the cooking time but not all at once. At the end of the cooking time, at least half of the water should have cooked away.
• Add the crème fraiche, smetana, or sour cream. Stir carefully. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or reheat the stew.
