My great grandmother used to make this recipe she called it "klinicki" said it was a traditional polish dish.
This is the first time I have seen anyone else with a similar recipe,

Nice memory.

This is how my family has always served sauerkraut, for 4 generations that I know of. I still do today.

I have been searching for a recipe called "kleetzel" (phonetic spelling) and this sounds like it might be it. The lady who made it was from a German or Mennonite backround. She made very tiny dumplings, almost like pices of dough. Thanks!

In case you're interested, in Czech, this recipe is called "Strapacky s kyslou kapustou" (Dumplings with Stewed Sauerkraut).

Pretty close to what I grew up on. I add sour kraut to the water when boiling. After I strain it I put it in a big bowl and add pour a little more bacon grease over it.
