For a taste of Oktoberfest, try today’s satisfying side dish, which combines organic sauerkraut and crème fraîche. 

The French version of sour cream, crème fraîche adds richness to the dish. It’s thicker than traditional sour cream and not as sour. 

Cowgirl Creamery makes a delicious certified-organic crème fraîche. If you cannot find a local organic brand, substitute organic sour cream.
