How to Make Bigos From Out Of This Kitchen

1. Brown the kielbasa, Polish sausage, and bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove from the pot and set aside, reserving the rendered fat.
2. Add the onions and carrots to the pot and sauté in the reserved fat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the sauerkraut, shredded cabbage, and dried mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, juniper berries, marjoram, and allspice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour.
5. After 1 hour, add the browned meats, prunes, and cranberries. Stir well to combine.
6. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for at least another 1 hour, or up to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be.
7. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove bay leaves before serving.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill (optional) and serve hot with crusty bread.
