Boiled Collar of Bacon with Home-made Sauerkraut

Sauerkraut is a warm pickled cabbage. I used to eat sauerkraut a lot when I lived in Amsterdam in the late 70s and also when visiting my brother who lived in Germany. We would always have grilled bratwurst sausage with sauerkraut in a roll. I think these were the German answer to hotdogs and ketchup!

Sauerkraut is often cooked with bacon to help the flavour. I decided to keep the sauerkraut ‘vegetarian’. Serve it with the boiled bacon and mustard seed sauce.
