  • This Mulgikapsad recipe will earn a permanent spot in your cookbook and become a must-have on the holiday table. In Estonia it's most often made for Christmas, and it's perfect for any meat lover. You'll also love how easy it is to make. If you want a real taste of Estonian cooking, this is a dish you have to try. Rinse the pearl barley and leave it to soak in cold water for two hours. First, cut the pork into small pieces about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Put the pork in a pot, season it (salt and black pepper), and sprinkle with the sugar. Layer the pork with the sauerkraut, scattering pearl barley over each layer. Then add water and cook until done. Boil the potatoes. Slice the onion into rings and fry it in vegetable oil. Top the potatoes with the onion and serve alongside the mulgikapsad. It's genuinely delicious — give it a try. Enjoy!
