This is a lovely delicacy from the Orava region, in Slovakia. It is a potato dish that will tantalize the taste buds, but is also quite economical to make.
Ingredients:
- - Potatoes (1.5kg)
- - Sausage mixture (500g)
- - Sour cabbage (1kg)
- - Onions
- - 2 tablespoons of sugar
- - Salt, Pepper, Cumin
- - 5 or 6 Juniper berries
Begin by peeling the potatoes, cutting them into cubes and then boiling them in salted water, until tender. Meanwhile, fry the onions in the oil, and add 2 tablespoons of sugar to caramelize them. Then add the pepper, salt, a little cumin, and the 5 or 6 juniper berries. Add the cabbage and then simmer, until tender.
Spread the cooked potatoes onto a baking tray, add the sausage mixture, and then finally pour the stewed cabbage mixture on top. Then bake it in the oven for 20 minutes and serve warm.
