Ingredients

1 medium green cabbage, coarsely chopped

6-8 slices of fatty bacon, cut into large dice size pieces

1 large onion, chopped

1 large leek, washed well and chopped

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup white wine (optional)

2-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced

1-1/2 lb. Polish sausage or Kielbasa cut into 1 inch chunks

a handful of capers, drained but not rinsed

Note: Juniper berries would typically be used but they are difficult to obtain.

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Note: Salt is not necessary as it is in the bacon, Polish sausage and capers.

Directions

Cook bacon in a very large skillet until crisp.

Remove bacon, reserving drippings in the skillet.

Crumble bacon, and set aside.

Add all other ingredients except sausage to dripping.

Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes over medium heat, turning cabbage occasionally.

Add sausage and capers.

Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until sausage is heated through.

Transfer to a serving dish with a slotted spoon. You want some fat remaining in this dish.

Sprinkle liberally with crisp bacon.

Makes 4 servings.

I was on another page and notice this on related recipes.I knew it was you.Luv all your recipes.They remind me of being living in Hamtramck,MI,20 odd years ago .There was alot of little resturants with old Polish ladies cooking.Now there is alot of coney islands and fast food.A few places there claim to be real, but if you had the real stuff you know its not. Have a great day!:)

Juniper Berries sound like they really make this dish. Just so happens that here in S. Ga. they are all over the place. So I will have no problem making this recipe the way it is intended. I am curious of these flavors and must try making it soon. And perhaps some Gin while I am at it.

Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

This sounds great. I just picked some cabbage yesterday. I may just have to try this tonight. Even have the juniper berries. Thanks for a great recipe...... Jim

I agree with Helene. A gin martini would go great with the jumiper berries.... ;-)~
