Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

In a large pot, fry the ground beef with the finely diced onions until the onions are translucent and the ground beef is nicely browned. (If you like, you can add a clove of crushed garlic.) Cut the gherkins into small pieces and add them to the ground beef along with the sauerkraut. Sauté briefly. Then stir in the tomato paste and caraway seeds. Deglaze with the white wine and bring back to a boil. Finally, add the beef broth and simmer for about 40 minutes. Serve topped with a tablespoon of homemade mayonnaise.
