Steps

  1. Step 1

    Heat the lard in a saucepan over a medium heat and fry the finely chopped onion until golden, around 5-8 mins. Tip in the cumin and pork, and fry for 10 mins all over until browned. Add the garlic, season well and scatter over the flour. Cook for about a minute, then add the paprika and cook for 1 min more.

  2. Step 2

    Pour in half of the stock, add the bay leaves, and simmer with the lid on over a low heat for 30 mins.

  3. Step 3

    Add the sauerkraut, remaining stock and a drizzle of the sauerkraut pickling juices. Simmer with the lid for 30 mins, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender. Stir in the cream and simmer for 5 mins to combine the flavours. Season to taste, the serve garnished with a spoonful of soured cream.

Substitutions

  • onion → shallot

    Shallots are sweeter. Use the same volume, or a little extra onion if that is what you have.

  • pork → mushroom

    Chopped mushrooms plus a splash of soy. Different dish, same comfort.

  • garlic (garlic powder or a pinch of onion) → garlic powder or a pinch of onion

    1 clove ≈ ¼ tsp garlic powder. The fresh bite will be missing.

  • flour (a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)) → a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)

    Coatings and roux can swap. Yeast breads need a blend designed for gluten-free baking.

  • beef → tofu

    Marinated tofu or mushrooms can take the savoury role. Label the plate as a vegetarian adaptation.

  • cream (whole milk + a knob of butter) → whole milk + a knob of butter

    Thinner and less rich. Reduce a little longer if you need body.
