Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tbsp butter
1 (7 oz, 200 g) large yellow onion
2 apples, hard & sweet *see notes
1 lb (450-500 g) kiełbasa sausage (Polish 'zwyczajna' or 'wiejska')
7 oz (200 g) strongly smoked kiełbasa sausage (e.g. 'jałowcowa') *see notes
3.5 oz (100 g) lean smoked bacon
1.5 lb (24.5 oz, 700 g) sauerkraut
4 bay leaves
5 allspice berries
5 juniper berries
Black pepper, freshly ground
Salt, for seasoning
2 cups (500 ml) chicken stock

Steps:

  • Have a little taste of the sauerkraut. If it's too sour, use a colander and rinse it in cold water, then drain it.
  • Roughly chop the sauerkraut, pieces shouldn't be longer than 1 inch (2.5 cm).
  • Peel the onion, chop it finely.
  • Peel the apples, cut into quarters and remove the core.
  • Slice both sausages into rounds, roughly 0.5 inch (around 1 cm) thick. Slice the bacon into thin slices.
  • Set up your oven to 356°F / 180°C, we'll need it soon.
  • Heat up 2 tablespoons of butter. Add chopped onion, season it lightly with salt, cook for a minute on medium heat, stirring from time to time.
  • Add in sausage and bacon slices. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring regularly, as the onions start to brown. Take it off the heat. If you're using a regular frying pan, move its contents into an oven-proof dish.
  • Add chopped sauerkraut, spices (4 bay leaves, 5 allspice berries, 5 juniper berries) and apples.
  • Generously season with freshly ground black pepper and optionally with salt as well (careful though - sauerkraut, kiełbasa and bacon are very salty already).
  • Pour in the chicken stock, enough to cover the sauerkraut. Cover the dish with a lid.
  • Place the dish in the oven for 90 minutes. After that time take the dish out and stir well. If it's too dry, add some more stock (or water).
  • Cover again and return to the oven for another 90 minutes.
  • Serve warm with some bread or potatoes on the side.
