                    This is from the book The Ultimate Bulk Buying Cookbook by Jan Muller and Bob Warden. I'm saving it here to help with my meal planning and shopping list. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 lb pork shoulder, cubed  |  
                                                12 slices bacon, diced  |  
                                                1 lb kielbasa, cut into 1/2 inch pieces  |  
                                                1 carrot, diced  |  
                                                2 onions, diced  |  
                                                3 garlic cloves, minced  |  
                                                2 bay leaves  |  
                                                1 lb sauerkraut  |  
                                                1 cup beef broth or 1 cup stock  |  
                                                1 cup diced tomato  |  
                                                1 teaspoon dried basil  |  
                                                1 teaspoon dried marjoram  |  
                                                1 cup mushroom, sliced  |  
                                                4 cups cabbage, shredded  |  
                                                2 tablespoons all-purpose flour  |  
                                                salt and pepper  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Place pork, bacon, and kielbasa into a large pot over high heat. Cook until all are browned. 2. Add carrot, onions, garlic, and bay leaves. Cook for 5 minutes, or until onions soften. 3. Add sauerkraut, beef broth, diced tomatoes, basil, marjoram, and mushrooms to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. 4. Meanwhile, bring 4 cups water and a pinch of salt to a boil in a separate pot. Add cabbage and cook 2 minutes. Drain and reserve cabbage. 5. Combine flour with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir mixture into stew and bring to a boil. Stir in cooked cabbage and cook 3-4 minutes longer. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately. 6. NOTE: This dish is also good prepared in a slow cooker. Transfer everything to a slow cooker in step 3 and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until you are ready to eat. Then turn it up to high and finish the recipe as written.                              |
