Tips
Do not throw away the water from soaking wild mushrooms, as it will be used later.
Avoid adding additional salt until the end because bacon and sauerkraut already contain salt.
You can use beef or regular pork instead of pork roast.
You can use red onions.
You can use other oils besides olive oil.
You can use tomato paste or crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce.
The amount of garlic can be adjusted to personal preference.
Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried ones.
