Sauerkraut Bigos

Description

I make a lighter version of sauerkraut bigos without adding smoked meats. Tomato paste pleasantly refreshes the sauerkraut bigos; in summer, I use grated fresh tomatoes instead of paste. Often, instead of fatty pork ribs, I use leaner pork. Bigos is my favorite dish when I need to feed a group of men. It's great to cook it outdoors in a cauldron—then you can add just about anything: sausages, smoked meats, fresh vegetables. But I'll tell you...
