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.

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.

GERMAN PORK CHOPS AND SAUERKRAUT



German Pork Chops and Sauerkraut image

As a soldier during WWII my Dad learned to make this hearty pork dish from a local German woman during the Allied occupation of Germany. I don't know the German name for it, but it is delicious!

Provided by Pat Mathena Oglesby

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     German

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 center cut pork chops
2 pounds sauerkraut, drained
1 large red apple, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon caraway seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the pork chops on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Place the chops into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Mix the sauerkraut, apple, onion, brown sugar, and caraway seeds in a bowl until well combined, and spread the sauerkraut mixture over the pork chops. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink inside, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: For this recipe, bone-in pork chops are recommended for added flavor. Look for chops that are about 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Use a good quality sauerkraut: Not all sauerkraut is created equal. Look for a brand that uses natural fermentation and has a tangy, slightly sour flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the pork chops, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chops from cooking evenly and will result in steamed rather than seared chops.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to evenly distribute heat and prevent the pork chops from sticking.
  • Cook the pork chops until they are cooked through: Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chops are cooked to the proper temperature.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with apples, sweet potatoes, and sauerkraut is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a fall or winter dinner. The pork chops are seared until golden brown and then braised in a flavorful mixture of apples, sweet potatoes, sauerkraut, and spices. The result is a tender and juicy pork chop with a sweet and tangy sauce. Serve this dish with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
