Today's Paleo recipe

This recipe is a favourite in my house.  It uses sauerkraut and it would be best to make your own (no vinegar) but in a pinch I find that the Safeway brand canned stuff is the best.  It has the lowest sodium and no vinegar.  It makes enough for a family of 4 with left overs for lunch.

My version of Polish Stew:

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 lb good quality bacon chopped
3 pork tenderloin trimmed and cubed
4 cups (2 cans) sauerkraut
2 cups water
1 onion diced
3 cloves garlic diced
4 large carrots sliced
1 can no salt added tomato sauce or 3-4 med tomatoes pureed
2 bay leaves
1-2 tsp dried parsley
Fresh ground black pepper to taste.

How to:

1. Put the sauerkraut and water into a sauce pan and bring to a boil.  Turn down and let simmer until you need it.
2. Brown the bacon in a skillet over med. high heat.  Drain and set aside in a bowl lined with paper towel.
3. In the same skillet brown the cubed tenderloin with onion and garlic.  (alternatively you can scramble the onion, garlic and carrots together in a separate pan so the carrots pick up the garlic flavour but that is more work and dishes)
4. Dump in the sauerkraut and cooking water, carrots, tomato sauce/puree, pepper, bay leaves and parsley.
5. Let simmer uncovered until desired consistency. 

It is easy to eat Paleo when it tastes this good!
