What are the best cabbage pies? Friedrich Torberg has it in his book? Aunt Jolesch? betray. Or rather, Aunt Jolesch betrayed it on her deathbed. Whenever it was announced that Aunt Jolesch was making Krautfleckerl, the numerous family members from Bohemia and Vienna came to her to enjoy this excellent dish.
Again and again she was asked for the recipe, but she did not announce it. When she was dying, a niece dared to ask again about the recipe. And Aunt Jolesch said with the last strength: "There were always too few!
The secret may be right, because if I make Krautfleckerl, these are sometimes too few.
My recipe for 6 people:
ingredients
- 1 medium-sized white cabbage (in white cabbage?) Cut into 2 x 2 large squares - some ribs may be there, which make the food juicy.
- 2 large onions cut into small cubes (no reds, because the food is unsightly gray)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons of neutral oil or lard, if it is tolerated by health
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Cook 500 g of meat bite-proof (Austrian pasta) if not available in D, you can also break wide ribbon noodles into smaller pieces. Will certainly work with other pasta, but these are not typical Krautfleckerl!
preparation
- Melt or heat lard or oil in a large pot (the large pot is necessary because the cabbage takes up a lot of space and does not collapse until it stews).
- Add the chopped onions and fry until they are glassy, add the sugar and caramelise while stirring lightly. If you are during this time z. B to the toilet, take the pot from the stove, because otherwise you have coal!
- Now comes the cabbage and salt (about 2 teaspoons, add - in the finished food you can after salting if necessary), stir and mix well with the caramelized onion. With the lid closed, let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently. The herb should be firm! If you really steam on a low flame (a MUST), no water addition should be necessary. The herb makes enough liquid! It should not be a soup? arise in the pot.
- In the meantime, the speckles are cooked and mixed with the cabbage. Now maybe salt and mix in black pepper.
Meal!
