WIGILIA-5 - Stewed Sauerkraut with Mushrooms
This recipe could be used as part of a 12 course meal known
in Polish as Wigilia, or on its own. Wigilia is eaten after
sundown on Christmas Eve. This tastes better if you make
your own sauerkraut (but that's another recipe).
INGREDIENTS (Serves 6)
1 oz dried mushrooms (or use 1/4 lb fresh mushrooms)
1/2 cup warm water
1 large onion
2 1/2 Tbsp
butter
1 1/2 lbs sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup water
2 Tbsp flour
salt and pepper
PROCEDURE
(1) Soak the dried mushrooms in 1/2 cup of warm water
for 1 hour.
(2) Saut' mushrooms and onion in butter in a skillet 3
minutes.
(3) Add sauerkraut to mushrooms; cook and stir for 10
minutes.
(4) Blend 1/3 cup water into flour. Mix with sauer-
kraut and simmer for 15 minutes. Season to taste
with salt and pepper.
NOTES
I usually like to add 1/4 cup of dark rum after cooking.
That reminds me of the recipe I have for bigos (similar in
construction but with more ingredients).
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 1 hour. Precision: Approximate
measurement OK.
