Firstly empty the two bottles of sauerkraut into a large deep based pan 
Then fill with warm water until the water is about 1/2 an inch over the top. The boil for about 1 - 2 hours stirring occasionally. If you want a stronger taste of the sauerkraut cook for less.
(you can experiment with this).
 
Finely chop the onions, make sure they are cut into tiny pieces. 
Get your onions and pork toghether. 
This is how the pork should look. Finely chopped into cubes. The size is up to you.  
Put the pork into a frying pan with a little oil. Fry the pork until it is cooked thoroughly and browned. 
Once the pork has browned, add your onions. 
Then add your salt and pepper to taste keep frying on a gentle heat. 
Drain off the Sauerkraut and leave in the large pot.  
Once the onions and pork are soft put into the pot with the sauerkraut. 
Add your two tubes of tomato puree and stir thoroughly. (You may eventually want to use more tomato puree for ours we use 2 and a quarter tubes because we like to taste you will need to experiment with this.  
Mix thoroughly again, then transfer to an oven dish. 
Heat in the oven at 150 degrees (fan oven for approximately 40 min's. Once cooked serve on a place with Polish bread. (or ordinary bread if you can't find any Polish).
