Kapusta is a great side dish at any meal and even makes a great main dish for vegetarians. This recipe was passed down by my Polish grandmother. I grew up with it at every holiday meal and just love it. Sauerkraut takes on a whole new flavor when baked and is really delicious! Try it and see for yourself!

KAPUSTA (SAUERKRAUT)



Kapusta (Sauerkraut) image

This is a traditional Polish sauerkraut recipe that my late sister Elizabeth and I developed together. This recipe was submitted to WNED TV for their ethnic cookbook and it was published in 2002. It freezes well and is great with sausages, kielbasa, stuffed pork chops, hot dogs, or breaded pork or chicken cutlets. Serve with boiled small new potatoes with melted butter and dill, some good rye bread, and dill pickles. The kapusta can be cooked entirely on top of the stove over low heat, stirring frequently. You can top it with wieners, thick ham slices, or precooked sausages for last 30 minutes of baking. Or top it with kielbasa for last 30 minutes or so, or slice the kielbasa and bury it in the kapusta at the beginning of baking. Brown pork chops both sides, bury them in the kapusta and bake for 1-1/2 hours until meat is done. The yield given is an estimate.

ALMOST MY GRANDPOP'S KAPUSTA



Almost My Grandpop's Kapusta image

Kapusta is a traditional Polish dish made from braised sauerkraut or cabbage, bacon, mushrooms, garlic, and onion. Janet's is an easy and flavorful dish to prepare. Smoked paprika and garlic powder give the kraut a lot of great flavor. The bacon, of course, brings this dish over the top. Country ribs soak up the flavor of the...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 lb pork country ribs, individually sliced
1 lb maple bacon sliced into 1" pieces (save the grease)
1 1/2 large yellow onions sliced
2 can(s) sauerkraut (14.5 oz each)
1 1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
1 2/3 tsp smoky paprika
16 oz chicken broth

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a large skillet hot enough for the bacon pieces. Spread them across the bottom (you don't need to separate each piece as they will separate as you stir). Stir them around to get the pieces cooked to medium texture. You don't want them crisp for this recipe. Take out the pieces & place them in a small bowl.
  • 2. Place the pork in the hot bacon grease and brown both sides including the edges. Remove from pan & put aside. Empty the bacon grease but do not wipe/wash. Leave the pan greased.
  • 3. Rinse the sauerkraut once and spread in heated pan with about 1/3 of the can juice. (I drain the cans and add water & drain again keeping approx.1/3 of the juice left in each can.)
  • 4. Add sliced onions to the pan and stir while frying to semi-cook the veggies and absorb remaining bacon grease (about 5 min.).
  • 5. Add the remaining ingredients including garlic powder & smoky paprika along with the chicken broth (I used College Inn but any good broth will do). Mix as well as you could as not to splash outside the pan. Turn down the heat to med/low and cover. Cook for 35-40 minutes.
