This is a variant of the traditional Slovak dish 'Bryndzove
halusky'. Instead of cheese, sour cabbage is added to potato dumplings,
making an appetizing, low-cost meal.

| You should begin by
peeling the potatoes and grating them into a bowl. Then add
some salt, milk and flour to make a mixture, which is neither
too thick nor too thin. After that, form the mixture into little
dumplings, throwing them straight into a pot of boiling, salty
water.
After the dumplings have been cooked for about 10 minutes,
they rise to the top of the water. At this point take the
pot off the hob, and drain the water away.
The stewed cabbage is prepared in a separate pot.
Pour oil into the pot, and then add a diced onion, together with
1 spoonful of sugar and let this mixture caramelize. After that
add a pinch of cumin, a pinch of ground black pepper, half a dozen
juniper berries, and a 2lbs of sour cabbage. Let this stew for about
half an hour, and add water if required.
Finally, mix the stewed, sour cabbage in with the dumplings, and
then serve with fried bacon, cut into small pieces, on top.
Of course, Halusky s kaputou is best served with some fresh bread
and a glass of Slovak beer!
