JäGER KOHL (HUNTER'S CABBAGE)

Jäger Kohl (Hunter's Cabbage) image

I found this at Teri's Kitchen, a site about Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. It's become a favorite in our family. Since we don't eat pork, we substitute beef ingredients for the sausage and bacon. However, the pork version is more authentic. It is very hearty and filling.

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown kielbasa and bacon. Add sliced potatoes and just enough water to make steam. Cook, covered, for 15 minutes.
Add cabbage and sprinkle with flour, salt, pepper, and vinegar. Stir to combine. Cover and cook 45 minutes, or until cabbage is tender, adding water as needed.

Ingredients

1 pound kielbasa, polish sausage, Kraft Genoa sausage cold cuts, leftover ham or any strong flavored smoked, etc. pork: sliced, diced, whatever to generous bite sized
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 onion, cut in eighths and separated
3/4 cup flour, divided
1-2 tsp mixed herb seasoning
1 tsp coarse ground black pepper
Salt to taste as the meat and bouillon have salt
6 or more medium potatoes, in large dice (as needed 1-2 per person and 1 for pot)

1-2 cups water or best, bouillon or stock, broth, any flavor
1-2 Tbsp caraway seeds
1/2-1 medium cabbage, quartered, eighthed or very large dice
Sour Cream or Tabasco - optional

Steps:

Using a Dutch oven or other large covered pan, brown or reheat the meat to release the fats, sliced or cubed. Add the garlic and onions and continue cooking for 7-10 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup flour and stir as if making gravy. Add herbs and rest of flour layered in with potatoes as they're added. Add 1/4 cup of vinegar. Add water to a bit below the level of potatoes. Add caraway seeds. Cover.
Turn heat to medium-low. Prepare cabbage and put to the side. Do something else for about an hour, check and stir 2-3 times.
When the gravy is forming and the potatoes have gone a bit mushy, add the last vinegar, pepper and cabbage. Cover and cook about another 15 minutes. It is done. Have extra pepper and vinegar and even sour cream for dinners.
