Step 1
In a heavy-bottomed pot, sauté the meat with onions. Any boneless meat works well for this recipe. It's best to choose lean pork (such as tenderloin or pork loin). Chicken breast also pairs nicely with sauerkraut. Before cooking, wash the meat and cut it into small cubes.

Step 3
Soak the sauerkraut in cold water and drain in a colander to let excess liquid drip off. This will remove excessive acidity from the dish. Place the squeezed sauerkraut on top of the meat and tomato sauce.

Step 4
Cover the pot with a lid, and when the contents come to a boil, reduce the heat to the minimum and simmer for forty-five minutes. At the very end of cooking, add garlic pressed through a garlic press to the cabbage and meat. This will give the dish a very enticing aroma.
