Cooking of wedding cabbage in clay pots, Serbia

Wedding cabbage (Serbian: свадбарски купус / svadbarski kupus) is traditional Serbian dish. The main ingredients are cabbage and a meat, which could be pork, bacon,[1] or lamb and mutton.[2] This dish is typically prepared by cooking it slowly for many hours in a big crock. It is traditionally served at weddings and other major events.[3][4]

Preparation[]

Cabbage is sliced into small cubes. In the crock bacon, cabbage and meat are layered. Water is then added until it covers everything, after which it's brought to a boil and left to simmer for a few hours.[5]
