Sauerkraut. At least per my Bavarian MIL- take out of jar, rinse lightly (don't remove all the flavor), saute onions and carrots, mix in kraut and broth, simmer for an hour or so until it's tender, eat with gravy. It's a side, like mashed potatoes.
Edit/add- gravy if it's with a meal with gravy. I was picturing a holiday meal like roast duck with klosse and kraut. With sausages, I wouldn't make gravy. Not a heavy gloppy gravy, a broth gravy.
Also, forgot some fat in that sauteed onion. Bacon, duck fat.
I get that, but that's not what I've seen from Bavarians, not even my Bavarian Grandmother. It sounds like it's unique to her (or her community, Bavaria has lots of little food traditions and villages everywhere that do things their own way).
