Ingredients
Filling
- 1 lb Sauerkraut drained
- ½ cup Dried Mushroom diced opt for dried porcini mushrooms
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 4 tablespoon Frying Oil
- 2 large White Onions
- 1 teaspoon Caraway Seeds
- 15 oz Fresh Cremini Mushrooms washed and diced
- Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper to taste
Crepe
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1¼ cup Milk
- 3 large Eggs

Instructions
Filling
- Prep: Combine sauerkraut, dried mushrooms, bay leaves, and allspice berries into a pot. Pour enough water to cover the contents.
- Cook: Cook over medium heat for about 40 minutes or until the sauerkraut is soft. Ensure the lid only partially covers the pot during this process. Drain the cooked sauerkraut with mushrooms - the liquid can be reserved and used for future soups, but remove the bay leaves and allspice and discard. In a separate pan heat oil over medium heat and saute the onions with caraway until the onions are translucent and in the cremini mushrooms. Place all filling contents into a food processor until it is finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper.
Crepe
- Prep: Mix the flour, milk, eggs, and butter together until smooth. Use a strainer to remove any lumps. Allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Cook: Heat butter or oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the egg rolls in until all sides are golden brown. Drain the egg rolls on a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl or wire rack instead.
