Ingredients
- 200 g Sour cabbage (sauerkraut)
- 70 g Pork shoulder, raw
- 60 g Beef chuck, raw
- 50 g Mutton or lamb shoulder, raw
- 40 g Smoked pork hock
- 40 g Onions, raw
- 5 g Lard
- 2 g Paprika, sweet
- 0.3 g Bay leaves
- 0.3 g Black peppercorns
- 0.5 g Dried hot red pepper
- 200 g Water
Method
- Cut the pork, beef and mutton into large chunks of about 5 cm, and the smoked pork into a few pieces. Any bones from the smoked pork can go in too: they flavour the pot.
- Taste the sour cabbage: if it is very sharp or salty, rinse it briefly in cold water and squeeze it out. Tear whole soured cabbage leaves into large pieces, or use thick-cut sauerkraut. The smoked pork and the cabbage bring all the salt the dish needs.
- Melt the lard in a frying pan and cook the sliced onion over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until soft. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the paprika, which burns easily.
- In a clay pot or a heavy casserole with a lid, make layers: cabbage, then some of each meat, a little of the onion, a bay leaf, a few peppercorns and a piece of the dried hot pepper. Repeat, and finish with a layer of cabbage.
- Pour in the water so it comes about halfway up. Cover tightly and cook in the oven at 150 °C for 6 hours, without stirring. Look in after 3 hours and add a little hot water if it seems dry.
- It is ready when the meats fall apart and the cabbage is soft, golden and almost creamy. At village weddings it cooks all night in big clay pots beside the fire.
- Serve hot, straight from the pot, with bread.
