Sauerkraut balls are a customary top pick in the Midwest, on account of the district's thick German legacy. These exquisite treats consolidate the fall's bounteously sharp cabbage with the pleasantness of the bratwurst.

Directions:

1. Remove casing from bratwursts. Brown meat, onion, and parsley in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Add flour, milk and mustard. Stir together until combined and fluffy. Transfer to a mixing bowl and allow to cool.

3. Add sauerkraut and mix again. Roll into balls (about the size of a golf ball or slightly smaller) then completely cover balls first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally roll in bread crumbs.

4. Freeze for 20-25 minutes on a baking sheet before frying until dark brown. Drain on paper towels and serve with dipping sauce of choice.
