Directions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook until softened. Stir in ham, corned beef and garlic. Cook mixture, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Stir in 6 tablespoons flour and cook mixture over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.

  2. Stir in sauerkraut, parsley, and broth, cook for 3 minutes or until thickened and paste-like. Spread mixture on a platter and chill for at least 3 hours.
