Description

Choucroute Garnie is the most traditional dish in Alsace, which is situated on the German border. It is made with sauerkraut cooked in wine, and combined with smoked ham hocks, sausages and potatoes.  Our choucroute ingredients are all sourced from our good friends at the German Butcher. Frankfurters and pork pieces and wood smoked the traditional way. You cannot dream of anything better when sharing a meal with friends on a cold winter night. Best to accompany with a crisp acidic white wine, such as Riesling. 

How to cook & serve

Excellent!

I'm not a real fan of sauerkraut, I prefer rotkohl, but my husband's German and he loves it, of course. I was pleasantly surprised, it was delicious - best sauerkraut I've eaten - it must be the braising in wine that, and the whole dish was excellent. Will definitely be ordering more.

First time I ordered this.

First time I ordered this. My husband really liked it but I was not so keen. He likes sauerkraut and the other ingredients in this dish which is why I purchased this one.

Very Disappointed

Disappointing dish. Ingredients way out of proportion with mainly sauerkraut. Now I do like sauerkraut however the potato was minimal and sausages very small. Sorry guys this was a huge let down from our previous dish the Tom Yum soup. Will not be ordering again.

Choucroute

Reasonably good but the choucroute and meat could be better.

If zero was an option I would have chosen it. I’m Alsatian and know what a choucroute should taste. The sauerkraut was dry, it should be moist, with white wine and cumin seed. The meat was cheap and dry cuts. So disappointing I threw away half of it. I’ve had tinned choucroute tasting better than that.

sauerkraut +

Exactly how I expected it to be with lot's of tasty sauerkraut and delicious enjoyable meaty bits and pieces. Good comfort food for those who enjoy well- flavoured sauerkraut and a good (well sourced) meat selection of generous ham hock and sausages.

NOT MY FAVOURITE

Very disappointed. The meat was very salty and did not have a lot of flavour. The best thing was the saeurkraut, but there was way to much of it. Everyone has different tastes, so this was just not to my taste.

Sauerkraut

I bought this as my son enjoys processed German meat. He enjoyed it but there was too much sauerkraut. Added extra potato and steamed greens.

Trip back to memory lane

I haven't had choucroute for close to 20 years, or since I left France to live overseas. I smiled the entire meal eating, and i couldn't stop raving to my kids about how authentic is taste! It's also very generously topped with heaps of sausages and meat. A real treat!

Very enjoyable.

We enjoyed this dish. It was something just a bit different. Added a dob of sour cream and some yummy tarragon mayonnaise and served with extra potatoes. Would purchase again.

Delicious

Took advice of another reviewer and fried up the meat in a seperate frypan and then served together. Delicious! Crispy edges on the ham mixed with the soft potatoes made for a great rainy day dinner

Like you are in a medieval auberge in Reims

Talking about an authentic local dish from the north east part of France. Never ever change this delicious dish.

Delicious!

I bought a bunch of French meals during the Tour De France but didn’t get around to this one until now. The serve was generous and I fed four people once I boiled some more potatoes and steamed some greens.

I reheated in the oven with a splash of extra wine and I think this would be better than the saucepan method recommended.

Generous serving. Excellent quality meat and sauerkraut.

Yum

Delicious flavour but way too salty for me and kassker ended up a bit dry. I have one more in the freezer, will see how that one is, watch this space !

Wonderful!

Nice and tasty. Very generous chunks of ham hock and Frankfurt sausages in a delicious tangle of sauerkraut. I was a bit concerned the sauerkraut would end up sticking to the saucepan before the large pieces of ham hock became properly heated through. However, having it on a fairly low heat and stirring regularly resulted in a perfect dish. I just added some baby peas and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Amazing !!!

Amazing choucroute ! Even better than many I had in France! Perfect with boiled potatoes.

Loved it!

Found it best (by accident) to heat the ham and sausages in a frypan separate to the rest of the dish, THEN combine them. Sooooo good!

German gormelicious !

This was delightful. Very German but not a heavy meal. Can taste the different meats & the sauerkraut is so tasty. Enough for 2. Will order again. Thank you.

Frequently asked questions

Are the meals frozen?

Absolutely. We snap‑freeze within minutes of cooking so nutrients, texture and flavour stay locked in—no preservatives needed. This is the guarantee of delicious and nutritious meals.

How long will they last in my freezer?

Up to 5-6  months after delivery. Each label shows an Expiry Date; most families finish their favourites long before that!

Oven temperatures: Fan-forced vs. Conventional

All our oven reheating instructions are for fan‑forced ovens —that’s the setting most Aussie households use.

  • Using a conventional (top‑and‑bottom) oven? Simply add 10 °C or allow an extra 5–10 minutes to reach the same result.

  • Unsure which oven you have? If your oven symbol shows a little fan, it’s fan‑forced. No fan means conventional.
    Whichever mode you choose, always heat until the food is piping hot (above 75 °C) before serving.

How do I prepare the meals at home?

How do I prepare them?
Each product label describes the best method for the dish—choose oven, air‑fryer or saucepan for best results.

  • Oven / Air‑fryer (bakes, pies, lasagnes, quiches, pastries) – 30‑35 min at 180‑200 °C until piping hot and golden if reheated from thawed.

  • Saucepan (curries, stews, soups, sauces) – defrost pack, then warm gently 8‑10 min over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  • Microwave – only for single‑serve meals when you’re truly short on time; 6‑8 min on medium‑high from frozen or 2-3min from thawed. We don’t recommend it for most dishes because rapid heating can dry the food and dull its flavour. 

How long will the meals last in the fridge?

We deliver everything frozen for maximum freshness, so keep meals in the freezer until the day before you want them. Once thawed in the fridge (below 5 °C), you can keep them up to 2 / 3 days maximum. 

Never refreeze a meal that's been thawed and always check the Expiry Date on the label for dish-specific guidance.

Do you cater for special diets?
Yes. On the main menu page, you'll find filters for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, and low-calorie meals. Please be aware that due to our single kitchen environment, trace amounts of allergens may be present.
I have allergies - can I trust the labels?

Yes. Full ingredient and allergen lists are printed on pack and online. Email us if you need extra detail.

Is your meat halal?

All our chicken, beef and lamb are sourced from halal‑certified suppliers. Meals themselves are not certified, as our kitchen is not a halal certified.

What about sodium, sugar or macros?

Nutrition panels for every dish are on each product page and dish label. We stick to home‑style seasoning—no hidden MSG, no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives or other nasties.

Why frozen over "fresh chilled"

Freezing offers a preservative-free method of conservation and, when performed correctly, is also a gentle process for the product, so you can enjoy conveniently delicious, nutritious and preservatives free meals.
