Bigus of sauerkraut with minced meat and sausage

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Preparing the ingredients. Finely chop the onion. Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, place chopped onion and grated carrots on it, fry until the vegetables are translucent.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add minced meat, it is better to take minced meat from fattier meat, for example, beef-pork, then the dish will be tastier, more aromatic, richer. Stir the mixture and fry for about 15 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sauerkraut to the pan and fry for about 15 minutes over medium heat.

4. STEP 4

   

   If it seems that there is not enough liquid and the vegetables are burning, then you can add a little water. Meanwhile, chop fresh white cabbage into thin strips.

5. STEP 5

   

   We also place fresh cabbage in a frying pan with vegetables, add tomato paste, mix and fry with the addition of a small amount of water (so that it covers the contents of the frying pan by half) for about 20 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the boiled and smoked sausage into small cubes and add it to the pan with the vegetables.

7. STEP 7

   

   We clean the garlic cloves from membranes and finely chop them; you can put them through a garlic press. Those who don’t like garlic don’t have to add it, but it adds its own flavor to the dish.

8. STEP 8

   

   We wash the prunes thoroughly, it is better to keep them in boiling water a little to remove harmful impurities and steam them a little, cut the prunes into small pieces. Place the garlic and prunes in a frying pan. add ground black pepper and salt to taste.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cover the pan with a lid and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes until excess liquid has evaporated. But the dish should not be too dry; the broth should remain in the pan, otherwise the bigus will not be tasty. Serve Bigus Polish with freshly baked bread. Bon appetit!

A wonderful thing - this e-book of yours, you know, you can find anything you want on request and with step-by-step preparation, it’s very convenient. Bigus is really a noble thing, but still, classic bigus necessarily includes smoked meats, even several varieties.

Thank you very much for the recipe! I almost lost my mind while I was eating. Now one of my favorite dishes. By the way, it’s also delicious with minced meat, for those who find meat a little expensive!

I don’t know what it’s like about sausages, but my husband and I, while in Poland, ate this dish in two different places and the dish was made from lightly salted cabbage with pork and various smoked meats. This is a very juicy, appetizing, smoky, incredibly filling dish that we immediately really liked!!! But I’ve never cooked it at home yet, I’ll need to fix that. Thank you for reminding me of this wonderful dish!!!
