Also known as "Hunter's Stew".
It's a traditional Polish dish that just kills! I picked up some at my local Polish market yesterday and was thinking about making some.
This looks like a good recipe
(Phil?):

Quote:
1 cup chopped bacon
1 pound of boneless pork, cut into small cubes
3 cloves of garlic, minced
3 onions, quartered
1/2 pound mushrooms, quartered
2 cups beef stock
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 bay leaves
2 cups sauerkraut, rinsed under cold water and drained
3 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
2 cups canned tomatoes, with juice, cut into pieces
1 cup diced cooked ham
1 and 1/2 cups Polish sausage, cut into small chunks
salt and pepper to taste
Garnish: sour cream, served on the side

Fry the bacon in a Dutch oven, to render the fat. Drain the bacon on the side and reserve. Then toss the pork chunks, garlic, onions, and mushrooms into the rendered fat. Saute on medium low until the meat is browned--about 5 minutes.

Pour in the stock, tomatoes with their juice, sugar, bay leaves, sauerkraut, and apples, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 2 hours. Stir in the ham and sausage, then cover and cook on medium-low heat for about 30 more minutes.

When ready to serve, remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with the reserved bacon, and serve with boiled potatoes, a bowl of sour cream, and thick, crusty bread.


Damn.

And don't forget to garnish it with the sour cream.

Yeah?
So?
So are donuts, but I eat those on occasion, too.
It's not an everyday thing.

Oh I'm not condemning, just commenting

I myself cannot handle very much swine any longer

If I eat ribs I am down for the count for the rest of the day

bacon and sausage are ok in small doses, but pork products really do a number on me
