Production of this Northern Samogitian typical region dish of sauerkraut, stewed with a heel (shank) takes much time. Some housewives prepare it for a few days. Pork for this dish must be fresh or smoked (smoked boils longer). For one medium sized heel, 3 litres of sauerkraut are enough. Cabbage added into the boiled meat broth is cooked on low heat. It is best to cook in a rustic furnace, gradually allowing the fermentation. Like the sauerkraut soup, the dish is the most delicious on the next day. It is a greasy, satiating food suitable for the cold season.
More about the object you will find in project implementer website.
Place the shank into a pot with seasoned and salted water and cook for about a couple of hours.
Both sauerkraut and fresh cabbage can be used for the dish. If the shank is steamed with sauerkraut, put them in a pot, add oil and stew. Season with spices.
Hold it for a few hours to get the liquid out (best to leave overnight), and then put in a pot, add water and stew. At the end pour some oil, and stew for a while.
Served with hot cooked potatoes.
