Mom's Kapusta Portions of ingredients can be altered. Nothing is critical.
- Cube, then pan fry 1/2 lb of salt pork. Put in large pot along with drippings.
- Add 1 large can sauerkraut, including all liquid in the can.
- Add 1 large head of cabbage, shredded
- Add 2 to 4 lbs of fresh, boneless pork, cut in 1 to 2" pieces. Please use a very cheap and fat cut of pork, such as pork butt. The fatter the better! Marbled pork is the secret here! Don't go lean, or it will be mean!
Simmer on stovetop for 2 hours. Stir occasionally.
- Add 1 large kelbasa, cut in thick slices (about 1/2")
Simmer 1 more hour.
Serve with a nice hot horseradish along with rye bread and butter.
