Treat your ingredients with care...

• Sauerkraut — Rinse the sauerkraut before cooking to reduce its sourness if desired.
• Kranjska Klobasa — If you can't find Kranjska Klobasa sausages, you can substitute with any high-quality smoked sausage.

Tips & Tricks

• For a smokier flavor, grill the sausages instead of baking them.
• Serve the dish with crusty bread to soak up the delicious mustard sauce.
• Add a dollop of sour cream on top for extra creaminess.
• If you prefer a spicier sauce, use whole grain mustard instead of Dijon.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day, as the flavors develop even more.
