👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the pork fat or oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork cubes on all sides until golden brown. Remove the pork and set aside.

Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the sweet paprika and smoked paprika. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the paprika.

Add the rinsed and chopped sauerkraut to the pot. Stir to combine with the onions and spices.
- 5
Return the browned pork to the pot. Add the bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Pour in enough water or broth to almost cover the ingredients.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and let it braise for at least 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the pork is very tender and the sauerkraut has softened and melded with the flavors. Stir occasionally, adding more liquid if it becomes too dry.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
