Toroș (Transylvanian Pork and Sauerkraut Stew)

Toroș with cabbage is a traditional Transylvanian dish, possibly borrowed from Hungarian cuisine, in which pork (neck and belly) is braised together with finely chopped sauerkraut, onion, and tomato passata, seasoned with cumin, thyme, and bay leaf, resulting in a hearty, slightly tangy, and deeply flavorful dish.
