Step 1
We marinate the ribs overnight before cooking cabbage: chop onion, splash it with vinegar, mix well with ribs, add bay leaf, oregano pepper and, tightly covered with a lid, put to marinate overnight.
Step 2
The next day boil the broth from the ribs. Remove the meat, and strain the broth through a fine colander or gauze. After that, add peeled and cut potatoes and carrots to the broth and cook for 15-20 minutes.
Step 3
Wash the sauerkraut with cold water, squeeze out the water, add it to the broth with the potatoes and carrots and continue to cook for 20-30 minutes.

At this time, finely chop the onion and fry it until golden. Now ribs and onions can be added to the broth and cook for another 5 minutes. Add to the soup a bay leaf, oregano pepper and a spoonful of oil.
When the kapustnjak is ready, it is better to let it infuse well. Bon appetit!
