BIGOS (From A Secret Family Recipe) One 33 ounce jar of Sauerkraut One Savoy Cabbage Two pounds beef Two pounds pork One pound of ?breakfast? sausage links ½ pound smoked bacon One pound Kielbasa One onion One SMALL can of Tomato paste or sauce

3 to 5 Bay Leaves salt, pepper, oil, sugar, allspice First, get a jar of Polonaise Sauerkraut and a pound of kielbasa. Don?t use watered down sauerkraut that comes in a plastic sack with lots of water and vinegar. The final product is only as good as the best ingredients you can get. Then, get the best beef and pork with a minimum of fat. Cut off all that you can before cooking. Get a half pound of thick sliced bacon. If you cannot find a Savoy cabbage a regular cabbage works just fine. Start by getting a large pot of water boiling. Add the sauerkraut. Let it bubble away. Cut up the beef and pork into little fork size squares and brown. Generally this takes two frying pans (one each for beef and one each for pork). Season with secret herbs and spices. Grate the cabbage. Throw it into the boiling pot. Chop up the onion and in it goes too. When the beef and pork is browned. Pour both in the pot. Drippings and all. Cut the kielbasa into short pieces and sear in one of the frying pans. The searing keeps kielbasa from mushing up when it spends a lot of time in hot water. When seared, into the pot it goes. Cut all the bacon, except one slice, into half inch long pieces and fry. Drain off the extra fat as necessary. When the bacon is done eat the single strip and throw the pieces in the pot. It?s ok to cook the sausage in the same frying pan with the bacon. Little chunks, any size. Add a little (teaspoon full) of salt, a half teaspoon of pepper (go light on this), one eighth cup sugar, and the bay leaves to the pot. And here?s the final touch. Dump in a SMALL can of tomato paste or tomato sauce. Stir. Add water as necessary. Cook at low heat. They call this simmer. The longer it simmers, the better it gets. Leftovers can be frozen and thawed. Or you can just store in the refrigerator and reheat through the week

Faworki (Chrust) - made for Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.

2 cups of flour 2-3 egg yolks 2 TBS soft butter 2 TBS of confectioners sugar 1/3 cup of sour cream 1 TBS of 6% white vinegar or alcohol 2 TBS of rum lard or oil for frying Mix butter, egg yolks, sugar and alcohol or vinegar together. While mixing, slowly add flour. Knead the dough. Keep beating and kneading the dough for 15 minutes. When ready, put it in a bowl, cover, and let stand in a cool place for an hour. Roll dough on the board till it is very thin. Cut 2x7 inch strips, make a slit in the middle and pull one end through it. In a deep frying pan heat the lard (oil). To test readiness of oil, put a small piece of dough in it, if it immediately comes to the surface the temperature is right. Put 4-5 strips at a time and deep fry on both sides. Take out and place on a paper towel. Sprinkle with confectioner?s sugar.

Zur Soup The soured juice (white borsch) for the zur should be prepared earlier. It is made the following way: Scald 2 cups of whole-wheat flour with boiling water, pouring it enough to get a thin dough. When it cools, add 1 ¾ pints lukewarm water and place a piece of whole wheat bread crust in it. Pour into a glass jar, tie with gauze and leave in warm place for three days. Cook 1 ¾ pints of vegetable stock with dried mushrooms and add ¾ pint white borsch to the hot stock. Do not strain, as the soup should be slightly thick. If the zur is not sour enough, add some more white borsch. Add a crushed garlic clove along with 4 potatoes cut into cubes. When the potatoes are ready, salt to taste.

Cabbage (Kapusta) Bake a 1 to 1 &1/2 lb. pork butt @350 degrees, with 1 cup water, covered. After baking for 1 hour, and the pork has begun to brown lightly, add 1 large onion, sliced. Continue baking for 45 minutes, or when meat is falling apart. While the pork butt in baking, drain juice from 1 (27 oz.) can of sauerkraut, reserving the juice for later. Parboil sauerkraut and drain. Sherd a large head of cabbage and rinse under hot water and drain. Combine the sauerkraut and cabbage in a large pot. Add the cut-up pork, and all the juices, onion and fat from baking pan to the pot. Add 1 to 2 cups water, salt and pepper. In a frying pan, sauté 1 large chopped onion till light brown, in 1/4 cup butter; add to pot. In same frying pan, lightly brown 1 cup chopped salt pork; then add to pot. Cook all in the pot on the top of the stove on low heat, or just to a low simmer, for 1 hour. Taste. At this point add as much of the reserved sauerkraut juice to your liking. Continue cooking and tasting for another 30 minutes or until the cabbage is of the texture you like.

Barley Soup (Krupnik) Pour 3 ½ pints water over 1lb beef and 1lb bones and cook over low heat. After 1 hour add mixed vegetables (carrots, parsley, celeriac root, leek, and onion) and

4 small dried mushrooms. When meat is tender, put the broth through a sive. Cut the meat into cubes and the vegetables and mushrooms into thin strips. Cook ¾ pint of the cooked broth, salted to taste, with 4-6 oz. of pearl barley. When kasha is cooked, add 1 TBS butter and mix the kasha for a while with a spoon, until it turns white. Add cooked kasha to the remaining broth and after adding 3 potatoes diced into cubes, cook for another 15-20 minutes. Add diced meat, mushrooms and vegetables to the broth and salt to taste. Sprinkle with minced parsley.

Polish Style Herring (Sledz po Polsku) Soak 4 fine salt herrings in cold water for 24 hours, changing the water several times while soaking. Remove skin, milt, cut off the tail and head, divide into fillets and remove the bones. Arrange the fillets in layers in a glass jar. Between the layers place very thin slices of 2 onions, 10 grains of pepper, 6 grains of allspice, one bay leaf broken into parts, 5 slices of lemon without rind or pits. Combine ½ pint sour cream with the juice of 3 large lemons. Do not salt the sauce. Pour over fillets in the jar (shake the jar to cover fillets evenly. Place covered jar in cool place. Ready to eat in 24 hours. Baked potatoes are served with herring.
