This is how our ancestors cooked cabbage: with millet and ckracklings
Sauerkraut can be considered a truly authentic Ukrainian dish. It contains millet, which was often cooked in ancient times. Also, the highlight of this dish is golden fried cracklings.
The idea of cooking sauerkraut with bacon was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Myroslava Pekariuk (myroslava_pekariuk). The vegetable should be fermented.

3. Beat an egg (like an omelette), grind the egg with the millet, pour it on top of the cabbage, and do not stir until the millet is cooked (the water should cover the millet by about 1 cm).
4. Dice the onion, fry until golden brown, add sour cream, and heat through.
