Hunter's Pork Stew... Bigos Recipe

This slow-cooked hearty hunter's stew, otherwise known as bigos, is one of Poland's national dishes. Combining pork, sausage, cabbage and sauerkraut with a bunch of woodland flavours it's sure to sort you right out after a busy day!

Awww, my Polish heart's melting
You DO say bigos like a native, Ben. Spot on!
In my region the variation would be to rather add kielbasa instead of a pork shoulder, and I never added honey! But I am convinced to try it out your way as well! :*

Ben, the way you said bigos was perfect ;)

I am in the UK, worked in a kitchen for 5 years, before my first solo travel trip, my Polish second chef told me I "MUST" try Bigos when I visited Poland. He knew me, and I fell in LOVE. It was served in a bread bowl too, in rainy cold February 😍

When I came home I immediately set out to find ingredients from all the Polish delis to make this for my brother and dad. I have tried to recommend it to so many British friends, SO happy to see it here :D

[softer.blues]

wow, I'm from Poland and I'm impressed with how you said "Bigos" :')

[danigirl]

I'm always so impressed/disappointed that your videos are less than 5 mins long. Most YouTubers with cooking shows have almost 10min videos but yours are always fun and informative in under 5! Plus, I always get to the end wanting more lol love your recipes!

OMG! I'm always really amazed and instantly interested, when
i see polish dishes mentioned or prepared outside the country (mostly because our cuisine is not that popular) especially by someone who is not from Poland.
Ben you did a really great job on pronouncing "bigos" and making it. Massive thanks, for this video, it really made me smile.
Lots of love for all SORTEDfood!

Did anyone else notice Jamie's wee internal giggle when Ben said "Polish Sausage"?

[annastachowicz]

thank You so much for Polish dish, guys! I love Ben's confidence when he says 'bigos' like he was born to do that xD

[avalonangel]

I love his little giggle when the sausage is brought out!

[TheOrangeType]

I wonder how long Ben took to hunt that tin of tomatoes.

[NIGHTSTALKER]

my mum is actually polish and you actually said bigos just about perfectly XD i would like to see some more polish dishes from you guys =)

[MyBlameGame]

YASS! Ben pronounce word bigos right :) Btw.. with prune it taste way much better ! And in a one or two days latter bigos is even tastier

[ShellScandolera]

When Ben mentioned "When I went hunting & gathering", I instantly had a flash back to the video where you guys made food from 'the wild' and pranked Ben with the clown make up. Laughed for a solid 5 minutes.... Classic.

[martianmartinis]

i have a polish friend and Ben, I would like to say that your pronunciation of Bigos was perfect.

[polaiswrong]

Also, Jamie was right about the translation. Narobić bigosu - To make bigos is a Polish idiom that means "to cause problems or make a mess". But this metaphorical meaning comes from the actual structure of traditional bigos as it is a messy dish indeed. :D

[LoveSelenaTaylor]

I realised that every single time I'm on YouTube I'm just basically searching for new videos from you guys.
It's like, YouTube is boring without videos from sorted food 👉🏻👈🏻

[Yerrrrrrrrrr]

Jamie's face at 2:39 is priceless

[ChloeWatra]

As a Pole it makes me so happy to see people cooking Polish food that isn't just pierogi!

[amymarie]

Just discovered you guys; having been home sick today, I watched hours and hours of your videos. Amazing food with even better commentary, y'all are hysterical!

I'm so happy to see this recipe. Finally I glad to see a lil twist, because not everybody use honey to add more sweetness, mostly I mean in my family we use pear, apple or dry plums. This is a dish where u can add whatever u have, no pork use chicken, for me perfect. Also Ben "bigos" is my new ringtone.
