Sauerkraut with a twist

Brown the minced meat with the coarsely diced onions in a little lard. Add the not-too-finely chopped white cabbage and sauerkraut. Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them with salt, spices, and tomato paste. Sauté all ingredients thoroughly, then deglaze with the meat broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not allow the cabbage to become too soft. Finally, stir in the sour cream, bring back to a boil, and season to taste. Spread slices of farmhouse bread with the lard and serve with the cabbage stew. Drink suggestion: Apple cider or a cold beer.
