First, prepare the sauerkraut. Chop two onions and sauté them in sunflower oil until translucent. Then add the diced ham. When everything starts to brown slightly, add the sauerkraut. Briefly fry the cabbage as well. Then deglaze with water, add the granulated stock, bay leaves, and honey. Season with salt and pepper. The sauerkraut now needs to simmer for about 45 minutes over medium heat until the water is almost completely absorbed. Then remove the bay leaves. Meanwhile, prepare the ground beef in a separate pan. Chop two more onions and sauté them in sunflower oil until translucent. Then add the ground beef and fry until browned. Then add the finely chopped garlic and the seasoning. Fry briefly. Add salt, pepper, and a little Maggi. The seasoning is a ready-made mixture of paprika, chili, etc. It is available from various companies in almost every supermarket. Once the sauerkraut is ready as described above, combine everything and let it sit for a while. Homemade mashed potatoes go perfectly with this dish.
