Description

Kapusta is a Polish cabbage dish baked with onions, mushrooms, and sauerkraut. This grandmother's recipe can be served as a side or a vegetarian main dish.

Ingredients

1/4 medium head cabbage, thinly sliced
6 tablespoons butter, divided
2 medium onions, chopped
1 large portobello mushroom, sliced
1 1/2 cups sliced white mushrooms
1 (32 ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained and pressed
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Place cabbage in a medium saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
3 While the cabbage is cooking, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms; sauté until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
4 Combine drained cabbage, onion-mushroom mixture, sauerkraut, sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper in a 9x13-inch baking dish; mix until well combined. Cut remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces and arrange over top. Cover with aluminum foil.
5 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes.
