About Bigos
Bigos is a traditional Polish cabbage stew. Edyta’s selected Eating European version combines sauerkraut and fresh cabbage with kielbasa, dried porcini and baby bella mushrooms, with prunes in its ingredient list.
Sauerkraut brings tang against the savoury sausage and mushrooms. Mustard, caraway, garlic, paprika and other seasonings add aromatic depth; red wine is optional according to the author.
The cabbages soften into a well-blended stew around browned sausage and mushroom pieces. Crusty bread is the selected accompaniment, suitable for the stew’s rich cooking liquid.
