Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to stew sauerkraut with meat? Prepare all products. It will be good if you have homemade sauerkraut, but if you don’t have one, then store-bought will do. I have purchased cabbage, with carrots, but you can use any sauerkraut (not pickled) cabbage. Choose pork pulp suitable for frying or stewing. You can add any other spices to these spices or supplement them with bay leaves and allspice peas.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the pork fillet in running cold water, remove any remaining bones (if any), and dry. Cut the meat as desired — maybe into small pieces, maybe a little larger. Take a frying pan, heat it over medium heat, pour in vegetable oil. Place the chopped pork in the pan and fry the meat on all sides until golden brown.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the onions and cut into half rings or cubes, choose the cutting method to your liking. Add the chopped onion to the meat and fry everything together until the onion is translucent.

Step 4

Step 4
Drain the sauerkraut (but do not pour it out) and add it to the pan with the meat and onions. Reduce heat and stir. Simmer the cabbage and meat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning, over medium heat for 30 minutes. If necessary, add cabbage juice or water.

Step 5

Step 5
After 30 minutes, add salt to taste, ground black pepper and spices of your choice, sugar to the meat and cabbage (you may need a little less or a little more, depending on how sour your cabbage is). Mix everything and continue to simmer the cabbage until done. Determine the degree of readiness according to your taste — some people like the cabbage very soft, others with a noticeable crunch.

Step 6

Step 6
You can serve stewed sauerkraut with meat either hot or warm. In my opinion, potatoes in any form are ideal for this dish. Bon appetit!
