Ingredients

• 1000 grams Sauerkraut
• 500 grams Ground pork
• 200 grams Sliced smoked sausage
• 200 grams Cooked rice
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Paprika powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 400 grams Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 3

Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Stir in the paprika powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix the cooked rice with the egg until well combined. Set aside.

Step 5

Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water if it's too tangy, and drain it well.

Step 6

Grease a large baking dish. Spread one-third of the sauerkraut evenly at the bottom of the dish.

Step 7

Layer half of the cooked ground pork mixture on top of the sauerkraut.

Step 8

Spread half of the cooked rice mixture over the pork.

Step 9

Repeat the layers: one-third of sauerkraut, the remaining pork mixture, the remaining rice, and finish with the last third of sauerkraut.

Step 10

Top the dish with the sliced smoked sausage.

Step 11

Spread the sour cream evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 12

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned and bubbling.

Step 14

Serve the Kolozsvári Rakott Káposzta hot, garnished with additional sour cream if desired.
