Steps:
- In a large skillet or a pot heat a Tbsp of olive oil at medium to medium high temperature. Add the pork and the black pepper. Stir for 2-3 minutes, to prevent from sticking to the pot or burning. Once the meat has turned color, add the sauerkraut and some of the juices. The juices shouldn't cover the pork and sauerkraut completely - but to around 2/3 (you can also use water instead). Stir in the paprika and optionally crushed red pepper and spices of choice. Once the dish has started to boil, reduce the heat and cook for 15-20 more minutes or until the pork is done and the sauerkraut juice is almost evaporated. At any point - add water if needed. At the end - give the sauerkraut a good stir and add the rest of the olive oil. Turn the heat off and serve like this or with some bread.
REALLY EASY PORK AND SAUERKRAUT BAKE
I threw this together when I was really craving kraut. It can be really hard to get good kraut in the UK but as I grew up Pennsylvania Dutch sometimes it is hard to ignore the calling of the kraut juice in my veins. This is really easy and reminds me of when my mother would slow cook pork and kraut for New Year's Eve. Using the lean pork steaks actually makes this pretty low fat. It goes well with mashed potatoes.

Steps:

- Put the lean pork steaks (I try to make them fairly thin steaks as this is a quick recipe) in the bottom of an oven proof dish.
- Lay the sliced mushrooms over the top of the steaks and then top with the sauerkraut.
- Pour the water into the dish and then put the dish into the oven and cook for between 30 to 40 minutes depending on the thickness of your pork.

PORK AND SAUERKRAUT
Eating sauerkraut on New Year's is an old Pennsylvania Dutch tradition, said to bring good luck. The traditional meal consists of pork and sauerkraut served together, with sauerkraut representing luck and the pig representing rooting into the New Year. It's a feel-good and flavorsome ritual and it may be just what you need to start the New Year. Serve with mashed potatoes or dumplings.

This is a recipe that is similar to my Pennsylvania Dutch grandmother's but was modified by me. She used a pressure cooker but I prefer the crock pot. I always serve this with a side of mashed potatoes and applesauce to accompany it.
