View source for Suffed hen/chicken



== Description ==

== Ingredients ==
* a hen,
* 3 coffee-cupfuls of grouts,
* 1 coffee-cupful of [[vegetable oil]],
* half a head of pickIed [[cabbage]] /[[sauerkraut]]/(or fresh [[cabbage]]),
* 10 [[corn]]s of [[pepper]],
* 2 teaspoonfuls of red pepper,
* 1 teaspoonful of ground dry savoury

== Procedures ==
# First prepare the filling - pour boiling [[water]] over the grouts and add half of the [[sauerkraut]], thinly cut. Then add the [[oil]] and 2 coffee-cupfuls of warm [[water]] and stew the [[sauerkraut]] in a covered pot on a slow fire. Season it with the savoury, the [[pepper]] and the red pepper.
# Stuff the poultry with this filling and sow it up with a scalded white thread. Lay the rest of the [[sauerkraut]], also thinly cut, on the bottom of the pot you are going to cook in, and put the poultry on top.
# Pour [[water]] and [[sauerkraut]] juice in equal proportions, to cover 2/3 of the poultry's height with the liquid. (If you have no [[sauerkraut]] juice available, pour only [[water]].) Before putting the lid of the pot, cover it with white paper.
# Stew on slow fire until the meat gets tender. Serve this dish with a salad of roasted or pickled [[peppers]]. You can also garnish it with pickled [[cucumber]]s or stewed [[carrot]]s.
