Sauerkraut


If you live in San Francisco and haven’t stopped by the Farmhouse Culture sauerkraut booth at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on Thursdays, we highly recommend heading down there.

Kathryn Lukas, founder of Farmhouse Culture, makes some of the best, mouthwatering, sauerkraut around. Their kraut is made with locally sourced organic ingredients and Sonoma Coast sea salt. They make several different krauts, including the Classic and Apple a Day (with tart apples and fennel seeds), but my personal favorite is Holy Smokes, made with smoked jalapenos, carrots, radishes and onions. Try adding Holy Smokes to a grilled cheese sandwich; I’ve had one everyday for a week! I’m officially addicted.


Last week they were offering a seasonal kraut called Summer Love with summer squash, carrots, lavender and tarragon. We made grilled pork tenderloin drizzled with honey and topped with Summer Love kraut. The honey was from Her Majesty’s Secret Beekeeper where Cameo, the owner, helped us pick out a lovely Oakland honey. It was DELICIOUS!

You can find Farmhouse Culture krauts at several other farmers markets in Santa Cruz and the Peninsula, check their website for exact locations.
