Sauerkraut and carrot salad
Surówka z kiszonej kapusty: crunchy sauerkraut salad with carrot, apple, onion and oil
Polish dinners rarely come without a surówka, a raw salad on the side, and in winter this sauerkraut version is the default in milk bars and home kitchens alike. Sour cabbage is loosened with sweet grated carrot and apple, sharpened with a little onion and dressed with fragrant oil, which gives a crunchy, tangy salad that wakes up potatoes, dumplings and rich stews. It costs very little and is full of flavour. A common mistake is not chopping the sauerkraut; long strands make it awkward to eat and don't mix with the rest. Chef's tip: use cold-pressed sunflower or rapeseed oil for its nutty flavour.
