Some people make this type of sauerkraut also with forest mushrooms instead of beans. You can find the recipe on the blog for that version of the cabbage as well. When preparing sauerkraut with this recipe, I do not thicken it in any way by adding flour to it. Other than beans and potatoes I am only adding a bit of butter and onion to it.
