Všenat zelje

Všenat zelje is a traditional peasant dish originating from the Ljubljana area in Slovenia. The simple dish is prepared with a combination of millet groats, sauerkraut, water, salt, lard, and cracklings. The ingredients are stewed, topped with cracklings if desired, then served either as a stand-alone dish or as an accompaniment to meat dishes such as roasted pork or veal. The dish is especially popular in winter and reflects the local tradition of producing high-quality sauerkraut in the surroundings of Ljubljana.
