Bigos was traditionally served to hunting partys retuning to the manor house. The choice and amount of meat was left up to the cook. Some added fresh cabbage and a glass or two of wine. The "stew" was cooked with very little liquid. This is a peasant version translated from the original Polish recipe. Posted by request.

Time 2h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

9 cups boiling water, divided
3 pounds sauerkraut - rinsed, drained and chopped
15 pitted prunes
5 whole allspice berries
3 bay leaves
1 cup dried mushrooms
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 onion, chopped
1 Polish sausage, sliced
½ pound beef stew meat, cubed
½ pound boneless pork shoulder, cubed
½ cup bacon strips, diced
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
salt and pepper to taste
¾ cup red wine
3 tablespoons tomato paste

Steps:

  • Place sauerkraut in a large pan or casserole dish and pour in 4 cups of boiling water. Add prunes, allspice, and bay leaves. Simmer until Sauerkraut is soft, about 50 minutes.
  • Pour about 1 cup of boiling water over mushrooms and soak to rehydrate, about 30 minutes. Drain and chop mushrooms, reserving the liquid.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium to high heat. Add onion and sausage. Saute while stirring until onion is soft and sausage is browned, about 5 minutes.
  • In a separate pan, bring about 4 cups of water to a boil. Add beef, pork, and bacon. Simmer until cooked through for 20 minutes, then drain.
  • When sauerkraut is soft, add the drained meat mixture, sausage-onion mixture, and soaked mushrooms; mix well. Simmer uncovered over low heat, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour in red wine and cook for 15 minutes until flavors are well blended. Season with caraway seeds, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Stir in tomato puree. If the stew is too dry, pour in some of the water reserved from soaking the mushrooms, and simmer so flavors combine, about 5 minutes.

Time 3h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 thick slices hickory-smoked bacon
1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
1 pound cubed pork stew meat
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
1 ½ cups sliced fresh mushrooms
4 cups shredded green cabbage
1 (16 ounce) jar sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
¼ cup dry red wine
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon caraway seed, crushed
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ ounce dried mushrooms
1 dash bottled hot pepper sauce
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
5 cups beef stock
2 tablespoons canned tomato paste
1 cup canned diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the bacon and kielbasa; cook and stir until the bacon has rendered its fat and sausage is lightly browned. Use a slotted spoon to remove the meat and transfer to a large casserole or Dutch oven.
  • Coat the cubes of pork lightly with flour and fry them in the bacon drippings over medium-high heat until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pork to the casserole. Add the garlic, onion, carrots, fresh mushrooms, cabbage and sauerkraut. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir until the carrots are soft, about 10 minutes. Do not let the vegetables brown.
  • Deglaze the pan by pouring in the red wine and stirring to loosen all of the bits of food and flour that are stuck to the bottom. Season with the bay leaf, basil, marjoram, paprika, salt, pepper, caraway seeds and cayenne pepper; cook for 1 minute.
  • Mix in the dried mushrooms, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, beef stock, tomato paste and tomatoes. Heat through just until boiling. Pour the vegetables and all of the liquid into the casserole dish with the meat. Cover with a lid.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until meat is very tender.
