Ingredients
- 1 head of sauerkraut (1-2 kg);
- 1 kg minced pork;
- 250 g rice;
- 250 ml water or sauerkraut marinate;
- 2 tsp savory;
- 1 tsp powdered paprika (or smoke-flavoured, optional);
- ½ tsp. black pepper;
- 3-4 tbsp. olive oil (or lard, optional);
- 1 stick of leek (optional);
- 250 g smoked bacon (optional);
- 1 tsp powdered chili pepper (optional);
- Salt to taste (usually no salt, as sauerkraut comes quite salty)
Directions
- Scald the rice in salted boiling water and leave it in it for 10-15 minutes (according to the instructions on the package), then drain it and let it wait;
- Chop the cabbage and remove the stem that won’t cook;
- Chop and sauté the leeks in olive oil (if not used, skip this step);
- In the hot fat, on high heat, add the minced meat in batches until it becomes crumbly and whitish. To avoid it burn, add a little water or sauerkraut marinate;
- Then add the sauerkraut, rice, bacon, and spices in portions. Lower the heat and let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes;
- Transfer everything to a tray or glass/clay pot with a lid (casserole), add water or sauerkraut marinate and bake in an oven at 180℃, until lightly browned (cabbage should soften in the casserole).
- Serve with chili pepper, if desired.
