Authentic Lazanki - Polish Pasta with Savoury Cabbage & Sausage

Preparing the Sauerkraut. To begin, place sauerkraut, bay leaves, and allspice in a medium pot and add enough water to cover the contents. You may also use water from the jar. Cook for 20 minutes, then drain the sauerkraut and set it aside to cool.

Browning the Sausage. In a large frying pan, preheat vegetable oil over high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned, approximately 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate, but keep the oil in the pan.

Sautéing Onions and Mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium and add diced onions. Fry until translucent, around 5 minutes, then add mushrooms and increase the heat. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Adding and Cooking Cabbage. Next, add diced cabbage and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium.

Combining Sauerkraut and Sausage with Veggies. Once the sauerkraut has cooled, chop it up and add it to the pan. Add fried sausage and combine all ingredients.

Cooking Pasta and Final Assembly. Cook pasta until al dente, then add it to the pan and combine. Season with salt and black pepper to your liking. Smacznego!
