Инструкции
- In a small bowl, pour 1 c. boiling water over mushrooms and let stand till soft, 10 to 15 min. Lift mushrooms from water and squeeze out moisture; reserve soaking liquid. Coarsely chop mushrooms.
- In a 5- to 6-qt pan over high heat, stir bacon frequently till lightly browned, about 3 min. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to towels to drain. Throw away all but 1 tsp. drippings in pan.
- Meanwhile, rinse beef and pat dry. Cut beef and sausages into 1-inch chunks. Add in beef and sausages to pan and stir till browned, about 5 min. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add in onion to pan and stir till browned, 3 to 4 min. Return bacon, beef, and sausages to pan. Carefully pour in reserved mushroom soaking liquid, leaving grit behind, then add in 2 c. water, sauerkraut, ham, tomatoes, wine, garlic, rosemary, thyme, coriander seed, and bay leaf. Stirring often, bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, till beef is tender when pierced, about 1 1/2 hrs.
- Ladle stew equally into wide bowls, discarding bay leaf. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
- This recipe yields about 10 c.; 5 to 6 servings.
- Comments: "As a child, I didn't know this was hunters' stew - it was just one of my favorite things," says A.J. Diehl. Her Polish parents always prepared bigos for the holidays. Diehl is now quick to point out which the stew is a treasured Polish dish; poetry and other literature have been written in its praise.
