[I will try to create a version of the Polish Bigos that is both Halal and Kosher; moreover, I will try to do it for the same amount of money.]

Ingredients:
Initial:
1 lb of sauerkraut; 1 lb of cabbage; 1/2 lb of
(boneless pork) in our case, I have to use (marinated) lamb or beef; 1/2 lb of veal (however, if beef is used,
I would have to use ... turkey or chicken); 1/2 lb of kielbasa (in our case either beef or turkey or chicken:
smoked!); instead of bacon, we will have to use, full of fat, ribs: 1/3 lb besides bones; one large onion or
two; a few ounces of dried mushrooms; one small can of tomato concentrate; a few spoons of flower; salt, pepper, and
sugar.
In my case, I did use beef, lamb, and chicken kielbasa (smoked
susage). I did pre--roast all the meat. I used both types of cabbage.
Question and Answer:
QUESTION:
What constitutes the Polish meat and cabbage stew known as Bigos?
ANSWER:
The standard Bigos must be made of: minimum two types of meat,
smoked susage, and two types of (fresh and sour) cabbage. The sour cabbage must be soked and drained before use.
My family was very found of the end product!
When I try to make this entree again, I will try to write down
how exactly did I make it!
