       Title: KAPUSTA KISZONA Z GRZYBAMI (STEWED SAUERKRAUT
Categories: Vegetables, Polish
       Yield: 6 servings

       1 oz Mushrooms, dried
            -(or use 1/4 lb
            -fresh mushrooms)
     1/2 c ;Water, warm
       1 lg Onion
   2 1/2 tb Butter
   1 1/2 lb Sauerkraut; rinsed/drained
     1/3 c ;Water
       2 tb Flour
            Salt and pepper

   Soak the dried mushrooms in 1/2 cup of warm water for
   1 hour. Saut# mushrooms and onion in butter in a
   skillet 3 minutes. Add sauerkraut to mushrooms; cook
   and stir for 10 minutes. Blend 1/3 cup water into
   flour. Mix with sauerkraut and simmer for 15 minutes.
   Season to taste with salt and pepper.

   I usually like to add 1/4 cup of dark rum after
   cooking. That reminds me of the recipe I have for
   bigos (similar in construction but with more
   ingredients).

   Original recipe passed down through the generations and
