Hungarian pork and sauerkraut casserole Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by ROBandSEAN

Number Of Ingredients 14

Rice -- 1 cup
Stock or water -- 2 cups
Oil -- 2 tablespoons
Paprika -- 2 tablespoons
Onions, minced -- 2
Pork butt or shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes -- 1 pound
Spicy pork sausage (see variations), sliced into rounds -- 1/2 pounds
Stock or water -- 1 1/2 cups
Salt and pepper -- to taste
Sauerkraut, rinsed and squeezed dry -- 2 pounds
Hard-boiled eggs (optional), sliced into rounds -- 3
Sour cream -- 1 cup
Bacon -- 4 pieces
Paprika -- 1 teaspoon

Steps:

  • Method Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the rice, 2 cups stock or water and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set off to the side, covered. Heat the oil in a sauté pan or skillet over medium flame. Add the paprika and stir to just cook through and color the oil, about 30 seconds. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Do not brown. Add pork, sausage and the 1 1/2 cups of stock or water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add more stock or water if necessary to keep the pan from drying out. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Place 1/3 of the rinsed sauerkraut in the bottom of a large casserole or baking dish. Spread 1/2 of the cooked rice over the sauerkraut. Then spread 1/2 of the meat over the rice. Lay egg slices over the pork and sausages. Repeat these layers a second time, finishing with a layer of sauerkraut. Spread the sour cream over the top of the sauerkraut and lay the bacon strips neatly over the sour cream. Sprinkle the top of the dish with paprika for garnish. Place the casserole in oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until it is bubbling and browned on top. Variations Try to use a Eastern European sausage like kolbász, kielbasa or Polish sausage. If unavailable, just use a spicy Italian sausage. Some recipes substitute cooked sliced potatoes for the rice

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and pork. This will help the flavors to penetrate more easily.
  • Brown the pork over medium-high heat to develop flavor. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the pork will steam instead of brown.
  • Add the sauerkraut, water, and spices to the pot and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the pork is tender and the sauerkraut is soft.
  • Serve Hungarian sauerkraut pork with mashed potatoes, spätzle, or boiled potatoes.

Conclusion:

Hungarian sauerkraut pork is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. The combination of tangy sauerkraut, tender pork, and flavorful spices is sure to please everyone at the table.
