Strawberry Sauerkraut

It's leftover night! Time to re-cook the food that's been left in my fridge too long.


Ingredients:
 - Approximately half of the meat from a 3-lb whole chicken (boiled)
 - Half an onion
 - 3/4 lb of strawberries
 - 1 golden delicious apple
 - 1 lb package of sauerkraut
 - Caraway
 - Celery seeds


Directions:
(Using a BIG fry pan):

 - Chop the onion, start it frying
 - Chop the chicken to cubes about the same size, at it to the fry pan
 - Core and chop the apple, add it to the fry pan
 - Cut off the strawberry heads and any other bad bits. Once the onion starts to caramelize, add the strawberry to the fry pan
 - Add the package of sauerkraut to the fry pan.
 - Add caraway and celery seed to taste.
 - Let it heat up until you hear it sizzling a little bit. Let it steam off some of the extra water from the sauerkraut package if you want.


Serve it hot on a bed of leftover wild rice.





The timing's not critical, but I like my apples and strawberries slightly mushy but not murdered, and the timing worked out perfectly with the chop-while-you-go method.
