      Title: Polish Pork & Sauerkraut Stew (Bigos)
 Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Herbs, Wine, Fruits
      Yield: 8 servings
 
    1/4 oz Dried porcini mushrooms
      4 oz Bacon; in 1/2" pieces
      1 lb Boneless pork shoulder; in
           - 1" cubes
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
      8 oz Smoked kielbasa; in 1"
           - rounds
      1 ts Caraway seeds
      8    Whole allspice berries
      2 lg Yellow onions; chopped
      2    Bay leaves
    1/2 c  Tomato paste
      3 tb Flour
      4 lb Sauerkraut; drained
      2 oz Pitted prunes; chopped
      6 c  Beef stock
    1/2 c  Madeira wine
      2 md Tart apples; peeled, cored,
           - in 1/2" cubes
           Minced chives; garnish
 
  Place mushrooms in a bowl; cover with 1 1/2 cups boiling
  water. Let sit until mushrooms rehydrate, about 1 hour.
  Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a cutting
  board; roughly chop and set aside. Slowly pour soaking
  liquid into another bowl, leaving any sediment in the
  bottom of the first bowl; set aside.
  
  Heat bacon in an 8-qt. Dutch oven over medium heat; cook
  until its fat renders, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a
  plate; set aside. Increase heat to medium-high; working
  in batches, season pork with salt and pepper. Add to
  pot; cook, turning, until browned all over, about 8
  minutes. Transfer to plate with bacon. Add kielbasa;
  cook until browned, about 6 minutes; transfer to plate.
  
  Add caraway, allspice, onions, and bay leaves; cook,
  scraping bottom of pot, until onions are soft, about 10
  minutes. Add tomato paste; cook until caramelized, about
  8 minutes. Add flour; cook, stirring, until smooth,
  about 2 minutes. Add sauerkraut, and cook, stirring,
  until slightly wilted, about 3 minutes. Return meat to
  pot along with reserved mushrooms and their soaking
  liquid, and then add prunes, stock, and wine; bring to a
  boil. Season with salt and pepper, and reduce heat to
  medium-low; cook, covered and stirring occasionally, for
  30 minutes. Add apples, and cook, covered, until pork is
  tender, about 30 minutes more; garnish with chives.
