Directions

3Add the wine (start with half the bottle) and let it simmer for another 4-5 minutes

4In a frying pan, with a bit of butter, put the shredded onion to fry until it becomes glazed.

5Add to the simmering Frank's kraut, mix well. Salt to taste and maybe a bit of sugar (1 tsp, max) to reduce acidity and increase taste

6Allow to simmer for another 5 minutes, adding wine if it becomes to dry.
