Chop the POLONAISE Sauerkraut, add bay leafs, allspice, marjoram, purr boiling water. Boil for about 2 hours, as water evaporates.
Don’t cover it. Meanwhile in another pan boil bones and soup vegetables. If water evaporates too quickly you can use a bone and veggies stock and add it to a Sauerkraut. In separate dish soak in a boiling water mushrooms and plums. Leave it to double the amount.
Chop the meat into small cubes and fry to golden colour, than add the stock and cover it with a lid and simmer for about 30 minutes.
