Berner Platte

Berner platte is a traditional celebratory dish originating from Bern. It consists of a large plate that's filled with a variety of sauerkraut, meat, offal, potatoes, and green beans. The meat, vegetables, and side dishes are all prepared separately, then served on the same plate – the meat is often boiled with onions and bay leaves, the green beans are sautéed in butter, the potatoes are boiled and fried with butter and chives, and the sauerkraut is typically cooked in white wine with currants and bacon. In some cases, Berner platte is served as an open buffet, so each person can choose the ingredients for their (regular) plate.
