Anyone got a recipe for kapusta.

That must be one HUGE Christmas Eve celebration..........

Kapusta Recipe - Allrecipes.com


Above is a very basic meatless recipe. My mom would make it with spare ribs.....not mushrooms. But if you read below the recipe, others offer their variations.



It's just long slow cooked saurkraut.......I use the type in bags, rinse and squeeze out......then add some olive oil to moisten it and slow bake with pork chops...........can't find good spare ribs anymore..........so just improvise on the above hyperlink.



The longer you cook it, either on the stove top or in the oven, with added moisture so it doesn't dry out......the better it gets.
