Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sauerkraut rinsed and drained, (use a colander)
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil or bacon drippings
  • 1 pound pork shoulder cut into large, bitesized pieces
  • 2 each garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 pound sausage hungarian or polish, sliced into large bite-size rounds
  • 1 large onions chopped
  • 1 each green bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon paprika or fresh paprika
  • 2 cups sour cream

Method

  • Use a covered pot large enough to hold all the ingredients.
  • Put the sauerkraut in just enough water to cover it, add caraway seeds, and simmer with the cover on for two hours (or longer, if you want).
  • In a large, heavy skillet melt the butter and brown the pork.
  • Put the pork and the sausage into the pot with the sauerkraut.
  • Saute the onion in the skillet until transparent; add the garlic and saute for a few more minutes.
  • Add this to the pot, along with the green pepper and paprika.
  • Simmer (with the cover on loosely) for a couple of hours, mixing it up occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and let cool for 30 minutes; then stir in the sour cream and serve.
