**I want to cook Polish bigos.**

### Context
- Servings: [e.g., 6]
- Occasion: [weeknight / Sunday feast / holiday / meal prep]
- Experience level: [beginner / intermediate / confident cook]
- Time available today: [e.g., 2 hours active + overnight rest OK / must finish tonight]
- Equipment: [Dutch oven / slow cooker / Instant Pot / basic pots]

### Ingredients on hand
- Cabbage / sauerkraut: [what I have, brand if known, how sour]
- Meats & sausages: [list]
- Pantry: [onion, spices, tomato paste, wine, dried mushrooms, prunes, stock—check what applies]
- Dietary constraints: [none / no pork / gluten-free / lower fat / etc.]

### What I need from you
1. A **complete recipe** tailored to my constraints (ingredients list + phased method).
2. A **timeline** (including optional multi-day rest).
3. **Sensory checkpoints** so I know it’s going right.
4. **Troubleshooting** for the three most likely mistakes with *my* setup.
5. **Serving suggestions** and how to store/reheat leftovers.

Please default to a classic, deeply flavored bigos unless my constraints require a clear adaptation—and if you adapt, tell me what you changed and why.

### Quick-start variants (optional one-liners)
- "Give me a classic pork-and-kielbasa bigos for 8 with overnight rest."
- "No sauerkraut—only fresh cabbage. Make it still taste like real bigos."
- "Venison hunter’s bigos, Instant Pot, then finishing tips for next-day flavor."
- "Vegetarian bigos with dried mushrooms and smoked paprika—maximum umami."
- "My bigos is too sour and watery—diagnose and fix."
