1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup beef stock
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup pitted prunes
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup red wine
Add the cabbage, onion, mushrooms, apples, and sauerkraut to the crock pot. Place the pork, veal, and sausage on top. Add the remaining ingredients. Do not stir.
