Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the thinly sliced cabbage in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the cooked cabbage thoroughly and set aside. (15 minutes)

03

Step

While the cabbage is cooking, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. (12 minutes)

04

Step

In a large 9x13-inch baking dish, combine the drained cabbage, the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture, the drained and pressed sauerkraut, sugar, and thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into small pieces and evenly distribute them over the top of the cabbage mixture. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure even cooking and browning. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking if you desire a more golden-brown top. (1 hour)

For a richer flavor, try using brown butter for sautéing the onions and mushrooms.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots or bell peppers to the Kapusta.
If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the sauerkraut before baking.
Kapusta can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the oven before serving.

    The foil is a must to keep the moisture in. Turned out great.

    The sauerkraut I used was quite sour, so I added a bit more sugar. It turned out perfectly!

  • Maya Lemke

    This was amazing! My family loved it and asked for seconds. The mushrooms added such a nice earthy flavor.
