100 g Boczek - finely chopped (You can use Pancetta or Bacon instead)
1 Shallot, medium - sliced
3 Garlic Cloves - sliced
1 handful Fresh Dill - finely chopped
Water - enough to come halfway up the cabbage
½ tsp Black Pepper
1 tbsp Plain Flour
2 tbsp White Wine Vinegar
1 tsp Sugar

Equipment

Method
1
Preparation of Ingredients. In a medium-sized pot, combine shredded cabbage, sliced shallot, and sliced garlic.
2
Boiling Process. Add water to cover the cabbage halfway and bring the mixture to a boil.
3
Simmering. Partially cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the cabbage to soak and some of the water to evaporate.
4
Roux Preparation. While the cabbage simmers, create a roux to thicken the mixture. In a small pan over medium heat, fry the chopped boczek until it renders fat. Then, mix in 1 tbsp of plain flour with the fat, followed by 2 ladles of the cabbage liquid. Transfer the roux back to the cabbage pot to thicken the mixture.
5
Final Simmer. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2 minutes or until the cabbage reaches your desired consistency.
6
Seasoning and Garnishing. Enhance the flavour with seasoning, fresh dill, black pepper, white wine vinegar, sugar, and caraway. Finish with Vegeta seasoning or salt to taste. Enjoy your Polish Braised Cabbage! A perfect side to go with Polish Braised Chicken or Polish Potato Pancakes.
