Steps:
- Place sauerkraut in a large pan or casserole dish and pour in 4 cups of boiling water. Add prunes, allspice, and bay leaves. Simmer until Sauerkraut is soft, about 50 minutes.
- Pour about 1 cup of boiling water over mushrooms and soak to rehydrate, about 30 minutes. Drain and chop mushrooms, reserving the liquid.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium to high heat. Add onion and sausage. Saute while stirring until onion is soft and sausage is browned, about 5 minutes.
- In a separate pan, bring about 4 cups of water to a boil. Add beef, pork, and bacon. Simmer until cooked through for 20 minutes, then drain.
- When sauerkraut is soft, add the drained meat mixture, sausage-onion mixture, and soaked mushrooms; mix well. Simmer uncovered over low heat, about 20 minutes.
- Pour in red wine and cook for 15 minutes until flavors are well blended. Season with caraway seeds, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Stir in tomato puree. If the stew is too dry, pour in some of the water reserved from soaking the mushrooms, and simmer so flavors combine, about 5 minutes.

CHEF JOHN'S BIGOS (POLISH HUNTER'S STEW)
This meaty stew is usually made with wild game such as venison or boar, but you can use beef, pork, or other meat--just use a lot. It's perfect for feeding a crowd, especially when the weather turns cold and dreary.

BIGOS - POLISH HUNTER'S STEW
This is nicknamed in English "Hunter's Stew". It is a staple in my family's cooking and my mother makes the best (as I pretty much say about any of my mother's recipes I post, lol!) Bigos is best when it is ready a few hours ahead of serving, so it has time for the flavors to "meld". For the meat choice, you can use pork,...

BIGOS (HUNTER'S STEW)
Bigos was traditionally served to hunting partys retuning to the manor house. The choice and amount of meat was left up to the cook. Some added fresh cabbage and a glass or two of wine. The "stew" was cooked with very little liquid. This is a peasant version translated from the original Polish recipe. Posted by request.
