Prepare the Meat

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the pork ribs or bacon and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the meat and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Add Vegetables and Sauerkraut

Add the diced carrot and potato to the pot, cooking for another 5 minutes.

Stir in the sauerkraut and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Add Broth and Seasonings

Return the browned meat to the pot.

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, add the bay leaf and caraway seeds, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil.

Simmer

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables and meat are tender.

Season and Serve

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Garnish with fresh dill before serving.
