Ah, KAPUSTA!! Are you Polish, Ukrainian, Russian or a combo of all three like me?
My grandmother and mom would chop an onion, cabbage, shredded carrots and sauerkraut, fry it in butter until browned and serve with kielbasa or pork cops. Serve with mashed potatoes and gorge yourself!
Our kids loved it. I need to make it tonight.
Yeah I just went to the store and picked up a pork loin so I could cut my own chops to make them with the fried kraut after posting that recipe. Have to make it tomorrow, meatless Friday today. I am 1/2 Polish and 1/2 Serbian. Rampant ethnic cuisine at our house. Even though I grew up right on the south side of Chicago, Grandpa would dig a pit in his backyard and roast a whole lamb and a whole pig for holidays, lamb especially at Easter. He had his own smokehouse and smoked all our meat and sausage. I make my own kraut a #8 and a #6 crock every year. Might sound like a lot for 3 people buut we go through it. (And it goes through us :) )
