Ingredients
* 4 cups Sauerkraut * I can Del Monte Diced Tomatoes, No Salt Added * 1 medium onion * 10 oz polska kielbasa, cut into bite size pieces * 6 oz lean pork chops( you can omit or substitute any other meat you like) * 1 tbsp Olive Oil * 2 cups sliced mushrooms * 2 cups tap water * 2 bay leaves *salt & pepper to taste
-Drain and rinse the sauerkraut. (Reserve the liquid in case the stew comes out too mellow.)
-Saute the kielbasa so it develops a crispy outside; remove from pan
- Season the pork and saute on both sides in the same pan; remove
-In the same pan, saute the onion and mushrooms until half way done
Put all above ingredients in you slow cooker, add tomatoes, bay leaves and water.
Mix well. Cover and set your slow cooker to the desired temperature.
** Additional tips
-If your sauerkraut is very sour from the jar, boil it in water in a pot on a stove for about 30 min; drain and discard water. Repeat if needed.
-Bigos takes better the more you reheat it
-If your stew is not sour enough you can add the reserved liquid from the jar.
-If your cooked stew came out too sour; cook one small cabbage in salted water for about 10-15 minutes or until soft and add to stew. Mix well and cook additional hour.
-I usually set my slow cooker on high for 6 hrs.
