Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté the sliced kielbasa and cubed pork shoulder until nicely browned. Remove the meat and set aside.

  2. 2

    In the same pot, using the rendered fat, sauté the chopped onion until softened.

  3. 3

    Add the shredded fresh cabbage and the drained sauerkraut to the pot. Stir well and cook for 10 minutes until the fresh cabbage begins to wilt.

  4. 4

    Return the browned meats to the pot. Add the chopped rehydrated mushrooms, the mushroom soaking liquid (strained), and the beef broth.

  5. 5

    Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for at least 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it stews, the richer the flavors become.

  6. 6

    Season with black pepper and a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity. Serve hot with thick slices of rye bread.
