Bujta Repa
Slovenian sour-turnip stew with pork, millet and a paprika roux.

About Bujta Repa
Michelle Ryall presents Prekmurska bujta repa as a traditional Slovenian winter dish associated with koline. Pork shoulder and its bones cook with grated pickled turnip and the juices from its jar.
Millet is added after the pork and turnip have cooked. A separate pan combines lard, onion, garlic and flour into a roux, with paprika supplying its red colour and spice flavour.
Water loosens the roux before it joins the stew. Marjoram, salt and pepper finish the seasoning, with part of a chicken bouillon cube offered as an optional addition.
