PORK, SAUERKRAUT AND DUMPLINGS



Pork, Sauerkraut and Dumplings image

Pork roast and kraut slow-cooked and served with dumplings and sauerkraut 'gravy.' This recipe was from my mother's very German family. She always served it with mashed potatoes, creamed peas, and applesauce. Sometimes she baked the roast and kraut separately. We always have this on New Year's Day. I usually double the recipe for the dumplings. My mother didn't make hers with beer, but I have added this over the years to taste.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Dumpling Recipes

Time 7h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3 pound) pork shoulder roast, well-trimmed and trimmings reserved
2 (20 ounce) cans sauerkraut, undrained
½ cup applesauce
¼ cup brown sugar, or to taste
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles beer, divided
3 cups water

  • Mix baking mix and milk in a bowl to make a sticky dough. Drop by spoonfuls into the boiling broth. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer dumplings for 10 minutes; uncover and simmer until dumplings are set, about 10 more minutes. For chewier dumplings, boil a few minutes longer.

PORK LOIN, SAUERKRAUT AND DUMPLINGS



Pork Loin, Sauerkraut and Dumplings image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 10 to 12 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 21

One 3-pound pork loin
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
One 3-pound pork loin
3 cloves garlic, sliced
Salt and pepper
2 cups beef broth
1/4 cup vermouth
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 cups instant potato flakes
2/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
2 to 3 cups flour, plus more for kneading
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
1 to 2 jars sauerkraut with caraway seeds
1 teaspoon beef bouillon powder or 1/2 cup liquid beef bouillon, or to taste
2 tablespoons vermouth
Caraway seeds
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the pork loin, pressure cooker method:
  • In a pressure cooker set on high heat, brown the pork in the oil on all sides. Season with salt and pepper. Add about 6 cups water or broth so there is about 1 1/2 inches. For larger roasts, add 1/2-inch more liquid per pound. Pressure cook until the pork is extremely tender and falling apart, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. (This is important to the dish.) Remove the meat from the pot and reserve the juices.
  • For the pork loin, oven method:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pierce the pork with a knife and insert the slices of garlic different parts of the roast. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a heavy cast iron pot over high heat. Sear the pork until brown. Add the beef broth and vermouth (this will also deglaze the pan) and cover the pot with a lid. Bake, basting frequently with the pan juices, until the pork is pink and juicy inside but not dry and gray, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Be sure to periodically check your roast, as you want the roast to be pink and juicy inside, not dry and gray. Remove the meat from the pot and reserve the juices.
  • Combine the cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water. Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the pan juices to thicken the juices so they will stick to the pork and dumplings. (However, Grandma and Grandpa preferred the traditional thinner juice.)
  • For the potato dumplings:
  • While the meat is cooking, prepare the dumplings. Place a pot of water to boil.
  • Place the potato flakes in a large bowl. Place the milk, butter and 2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Pour the potato mixture over the potato flakes and whip with a fork until smooth. Let cool.
  • Add the eggs to the potatoes and mix well. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until a dough forms, adding more flour if needed.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured bread board and knead in more flour until the dough is stiff and doesn't stick to your hands. Break off small pieces and form into flat balls, drop into rapidly boiling water. Bring back to a boil and cook 10 to 15 minutes. Cut 1 and if it isn't sticky inside, they are done.
  • For the sauerkraut:
  • Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pot. Add the onion and cook until transparent. Add the sauerkraut, vermouth, beef bouillon to taste, caraway seeds to taste, salt (not much) and pepper. Simmer until the flavors meld, 30 to 45 minutes. Serve along side the pork.
  • For serving:
  • This was usually done homestyle. Place some pork, a dumpling (cut into hearty, bit-size pieces) and some sauerkraut on a plate. Then pass and spoon or drizzle some of the reserved meat juices over the pork and dumplings--this ties everything all together and gives you a forkful of flavor in each bite.
  • There you have it: hearty, stick-to-your-ribs pork, dumplings and sauerkraut--an excellent dish on a cold, frosty night!

PORK CHOPS WITH SAUERKRAUT AND APPLE



Pork Chops With Sauerkraut and Apple image

This is a great recipe for people who think they don't like sauerkraut, as it's very mild and sweet prepared this way. I never would have thought of using wine in a sauerkraut dish, but it's great. Source lost in the mists of time.

Provided by duonyte

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pork chops
olive oil or butter
1 lb sauerkraut, rinsed with fresh water and drained
1 large tart apple, peeled, cored and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup riesling wine

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper the chops and brown them in hot oil or butter, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
  • Add the apple and onions to the same skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion starts to look golden.
  • Add the wine and stir, scraping up all the browned bits, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the sauerkraut, and place the chops on top, including any juices that have collected. Cover the skillet, lower the heat and cook until the chops are done, about 7 minutes, depending on thickness. Do not overcook.
  • Note1: I've also made this successfully with chardonnay, but riesling is the best.
  • Note2: Sauerkraut packed in plastic bags and sold in the refrigerator case tastes much better than the canned.
