Sparkling water provides a non-alcoholic option while white wine is more budget-friendly.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat, while margarine is often less expensive.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with bouillon cubes

Vegetable broth is plant-based, and bouillon cubes are a cost-effective option.

Start by sautéing sliced onion in oil until softened.

Add fresh ginger and garlic to the sautéed onion and cook briefly.

Rinse fresh sauerkraut in a colander to reduce sourness and add to the pot.

Stir to coat the cabbage with the oil and flavors from the onion, ginger, and garlic.

Pour in about a half bottle of champagne into the mixture.

Add kosher salt and black pepper to taste.

Bring the mixture to a boil on the stovetop or cover and place in the oven at 350°F for about an hour.

After an hour, check the mixture; it should be tender and well-cooked.
