Instructions

1

Cover the dried porcini with 500 ml of warm water and let them soak for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

2

Without draining the liquid, bring the mushrooms to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. Strain through a sieve into a bowl, keeping the broth, then finely chop the mushrooms.

3

Finely chop the sauerkraut (if it's very sour, rinse and squeeze it out). Put it in a saucepan, add the bay leaf, allspice berries and 150 ml of the mushroom broth, and braise covered over low heat for 30 minutes until soft.

4

Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and sauté in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes until translucent, then add the chopped mushrooms and cook together for another 5 minutes.

5

Cook the lazanki pasta in salted water until al dente, 8–10 minutes (or according to package instructions), then drain.

6

Remove the bay leaf and allspice berries from the cabbage, combine the cabbage with the sautéed mushrooms and onion, and season with caraway seeds, salt and black pepper to taste.

7

Add the cooked pasta to the cabbage and mushrooms, stir and heat everything together over low heat for 2–3 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
