method
1. Toss the meat and sausage in the flour.
2. Brown the onion in the oil and then brown the meat in the same pan.
3. Add the mushrooms, sauerkraut, spices and prunes. Rub the tomatoes through a sieve into the mixture. Cover with liquid, bring to the boil,
4. Cover and simmer gently for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, or cook in a low oven. Uncover for the last 20 minutes to let the liquid evaporate as the stew should be fairly thick.
5. Season and stir in the cream if using it. Serve straight from the cooking pot, with green salad
