Directions
Polish Bigos / Hunter’s Stew, Hearty Heart warming comfort food. Serve with good rye bread. The secret of Bigos is that it gets better as it’s reheated. The more it heated the better it gets. I like cooking it most the day.This is a great make ahead meal. I posted this recipe using all pork but go ahead and add venison, veal, beef…. I also do add juniper which I love! Then throw in fresh Parsley and marjoram., This is the third year in a row I’ve used this recipe kind of. I try to follow the tradition of using up what’s in the freezer to make room for the new harvest. This year, all the meat with the exception of kielbasa and bacon was harvested by me or the next-door neighbor. Turkey I raised, some garden-eating rabbits I harvested and crawdads I caught along with some doves my neighbor harvested. I also made the sauerkraut myself. This recipe is great place to start and expand from there.
