Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a pan and brown the pork and sausage for 2–3 minutes, then tip onto a plate.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and soften for 2–3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the sauerkraut, cabbage, tomato puree, paprika and bay leaf, then pour in the stock.

  4. 4

    Cover and simmer for 18–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the stew has thickened.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  6. 6

    Return the pork and sausage for the last 4–5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 200 g pork loin steak, 190 g smoked sausage and 1 white cabbage. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
