This is a French country classic in the autumn when you can find both rabbit legs and chanterelles in the shops. This is a different recipe that will surprise your dinner guest. The trick to success is to cook the meat slowly on low heat, otherwise it will become dry quickly.

Choucroute is a traditional dish from Alsace in France, and it is a winter dish because it is rather heavy. You boil the sauerkraut with dry white wine and goose or pork fat, and then served together with sausages, salty meat, and potatoes. This recipe is not a traditional one because it do not have any ham or Strasbourg sausages, instead the choucroute is served with merguez and Montbéliard sausages to give it a bit stronger taste.
