👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the lard or oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Slowly cooking the onions brings out their sweetness. - 2
Add the pork cubes to the pot and brown them on all sides. Stir in the minced garlic, sweet paprika, caraway seeds, and bay leaf. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the paprika.

Pour in the beef broth or water, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.
💡 Consigli Professionali: For pork shoulder, a longer cooking time ensures maximum tenderness. - 4
Add the coarsely chopped sauerkraut to the pot. Stir well, cover, and continue to simmer for another 30-45 minutes, or until the sauerkraut is tender.

Stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer gently for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, but do not boil after adding the cream.

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve hot, traditionally with bread dumplings (knedle), boiled potatoes, or crusty bread.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓The stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld.
- ✓Adjust the amount of sauerkraut to your preference for tanginess.
- ✓If the stew is too thin, you can thicken it slightly by mashing some of the potatoes or by making a slurry of flour and water.
