     WIGILIA-5 - Stewed Sauerkraut with Mushrooms

     This recipe could be used as part of a 12 course meal  known
     in Polish as Wigilia, or on its own.  Wigilia is eaten after
     sundown on Christmas Eve.  This tastes better  if  you  make
     your own sauerkraut (but that's another recipe).

INGREDIENTS (Serves 6)
     1 oz      dried mushrooms (or use 1/4 lb fresh mushrooms)
     1/2 cup   warm water
     1         large onion
     21/2 Tbsp butter
     11/2 lbs  sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
     1/3 cup   water
     2 Tbsp    flour
               salt and pepper

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Soak the dried mushrooms in 1/2 cup of warm  water
               for 1 hour.

          (2)  Saute mushrooms and onion in butter in a skillet 3
               minutes.

          (3)  Add sauerkraut to mushrooms; cook and stir for  10
               minutes.

          (4)  Blend 1/3 cup water into flour.  Mix  with  sauer-
               kraut  and  simmer for 15 minutes. Season to taste
               with salt and pepper.

NOTES
     I usually like to add 1/4 cup of  dark  rum  after  cooking.
     That  reminds  me of the recipe I have for bigos (similar in
     construction but with more ingredients).

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time:  1  hour.   Precision:  Approximate
     measurement OK.
