Preparation
Step 1
You can slightly adjust the amount of each ingredient. Instead of sausages, smoked sausage or bacon can be used, and pickles can be replaced with salted cucumbers.
Step 2
First, prepare the cabbage. If it’s too sour, rinse in cold water and squeeze. Put cabbage, butter, and tomato paste into a pan. Stir and simmer under a lid over medium heat until semi-cooked (about 30 minutes). Check occasionally and add ¼ cup boiling water if needed.
Step 3
Meanwhile, peel potatoes, onions, and carrots. Rinse vegetables. Finely chop onion and grate carrots coarsely.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a pan. Sauté onion and carrots until golden. Add flour, stir, and leave for 1 more minute. Flour can be skipped, but it gives the broth a velvety texture.
Step 5
Remove sausage casings. Slice cucumbers and sausages into rounds. Cut potatoes into small cubes or sticks.
Step 6
Place potatoes in clay pots.
Step 7
Add sausages and cucumbers next.
Step 8
Add sautéed vegetables as the next layer. Finally, add cabbage and bay leaf.
Step 9
Pour in broth. Chicken or meat broth works best. Do not fill to the top, as liquid expands during cooking.
Step 10
Place pots in a slightly preheated oven. At 200°C (392°F), wait until the broth boils, then reduce temperature to 160-170°C (320-338°F) and bake until potatoes are done (approx. 1h 40min-2h). Add chopped olives 10-15 minutes before finishing.
Step 11
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve with lemon wedges, fresh herbs, crushed garlic, and sour cream if desired.
