The earthy, assertive flavors of Sauerkraut and Rye Bread Stuffing make it perfect for the maverick holiday host. At my first Thanksgiving with my husband's Baltimore family, I was surprised to see a big bowl of sauerkraut next to the turkey. I later learned that sauerkraut is a mid-Atlantic holiday tradition. This stuffing embraces it enthusiastically. Note -- Plastic bags of fresh sauerkraut are sold in the refrigerated or deli section in most supermarkets. It must be rinsed before using.

DIRECTIONS

In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour off all but 4 tablespoons of the bacon grease and set the pan over moderate heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, thyme, caraway seeds, celery seeds, and salt. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping the pan to loosen and dissolve the browned bits. Add the apples, cover, and cook until the apples are tender. Remove from the heat and combine in a large bowl with the bread cubes and sauerkraut. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper; toss to combine. Bake in the bird or in a casserole as directed below.

Stuff the bird -- or, if baking some or all of the stuffing in a casserole, pour a cup or two of stock over the stuffing to replace the juices the stuffing would have absorbed from the bird. Bake it covered until heated through, 45 minutes to 1 hour. For a crunchy top, uncover it for the last 15 minutes of baking.

Noooooooo!!! Now here's a holiday tradition that I hope to never try. My husband is a Baltimore native and told me that he grew up with sauerkrat served up alongside his Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I find this combination weird and a bit repulsive to be totally honest. Sorry, but Sauerkraut belongs with hotdogs and knockwurst. Can't ever accept it as anything other than a casual food relish.
