👨🍳 조리법

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the fat over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, carrot, and celery root. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
While the vegetables are sautéing, cut the pork into 1.5-inch pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 3
In a separate frying pan, brown the seasoned pork pieces on all sides. Drain off excess fat.
- 4
Add the browned pork to the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the tomato puree and sugar.
- 5
Add the drained sauerkraut to the pot. Pour in about 2 cups of water, or enough to partially cover the ingredients. Stir everything together.
- 6
Bring the stew to a simmer, then cover the pot tightly. Braise in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is very tender. Stir occasionally, adding more water if the stew becomes too dry.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and sugar if needed. Serve hot.
