Rat meat with sauerkraut!
this is a traditional dish of the Lika region, this is eaten on the eve of Christmas Easter… of course with all the other dishes we prepare for the holidays.
Preparation steps
- we cut the onion into a larger pot and deep fry it on the fat, so that the onion has to turn a little black, ie it gets a little sticky due to the smell.
- when the onion has got its taste we add greens, peppercorns, salt, garlic and of course the meat which must be in pieces or in halves (in order to be nicely cut later)
- greens and meat must be cooked for 2 hours, but they must be watered regularly so that they do not burn, but if you get a crumb of greens (do not panic, just make sure that everything does not burn), it will give a special and recognizable taste.
- now that you have nicely simmered your greens and meat for 2 hours remove the dish from the heat cover to keep the heat and cook the potatoes in (peel) a little salt it and let it cook.
- when the potatoes are done, peel them and put them in the greens, take out the meat and cut it like a classic ham only a little thicker (so that it doesn't fall apart) and serve.
