Rieder's Bouja image

Central Minnesota has welcomed people from many cultures and has been blessed by their food traditions. Here is a recipe for Bouja that came to us from Poland and has now become one of my home town's most enduring traditions, as well as a great fund raiser for local churches.

  • Remove meat and cut into small bite-sized chunks.
  • Discard fat and skin.
  • To broth, add celery, cabbage, onions and boil until almost tender.

  • After vegetables have cooked a short time together add meat and simmer until meat breaks apart.
  • Stir occasionally with a wooden paddle.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
