Authentic Recipe of Podvarak. Delicious Serbian Traditional Baked Sauerkraut.

Podvarak is popular across Serbia. Its primary ingredients are sour cabbage or sauerkraut or fresh cabbage, finely chopped onions, and meat.


Things to know about Podvarak Recipe

If Serbians like something, it is probably something pickled with cooked meat. Podvarak is exactly that. This traditional dish takes sauerkraut and meat and takes them to another level.

Podvarak is originally from Serbia and was associated with poor people. This dish is quite easy and cheap to make. It is traditionally made in the winter, especially around Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

You can make the fasting version of it by taking out the meat and cooking only the sauerkraut (or regular cabbage if you don’t have sauerkraut) It is usually eaten on Christmas Eve because Orthodox Christians are fasting that day.
