Ingredients
1 jar Sauerkraut drained and rinsed1 lb Ground Pork1 med onion chopped1 egg1/2 cup Instant Brown RiceSalt & Pepper to taste2 tlbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil1-2 cups Water2 tblsp Flour1 tblsp Hungarian Paprika
Make the pork meatballs first.
Chop onion and add to ground pork. Add egg and instant brown rice, salt & pepper. Mix with hands. It will feel really wet and almost feel like it won't hold together very well but it will once they are in the pot. Make as many 1 1/2" balls as you can. Bigger or smaller if you prefer.
Take a large pot and put in half of the sauerkraut. Add the pork balls and top them with the remaing sauerkraut. Add enough water to barely cover everything. Start to heat through at medium heat.
Make a roux.
Pour oil into a skillet and heat, add flour and cook for a minute or so. Add paprika and slowly add a cup or more of water and stir well.
Pour roux over cabbage balls and simmer for 45 minutes. Do not stir the cabbage and balls, just slightly nudge them every so often.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Makes 4 - 5 servings
