Polish Kluski Noodles With Sauerkraut

Recently we selected for our Sunday movie night “The Zookeeper’s Wife”, a film based on a non-fiction book which tells the story of Jan and Antonina Zabinski, who were the owners and keepers of the Warsaw zoo. Amazingly they helped save hundreds of Polish Jews during the WWII German occupation of Poland, and their bravery under the most dire of circumstances was truly awe inspiring.

On movie nights I’ll cook a meal that has something to do with the film we are watching, so for this evening we dined on Polish Kluski Noodles with Sauerkraut, and Polish Kielbasa.

If you haven’t tried Kluski noodles before, then you’re in for a treat. They are delicious and fun to cook! Noodles and sausage are also generally very budget friendly, so I hope you’ll give this a try!

I had never cooked with Kluski noodles before, so these were a revelation to me and I can’t wait to try them out in a soup one day!

Sauerkraut

This dish includes sauerkraut, which is one of the 1,000 Foods to Eat listed in the book 1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die, by Mimi Sheraton. It is #13 on my quest to eat and/or prepare each of the foods listed in the book.

Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage, and is of course sour in taste. In Germany, it is often flavored with caraway seeds or juniper berries, and other regional varieties exist.

It has associated health benefits including probiotics and many nutrients, which in turn may help to give a boost to your immune system.
