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.

POLISH PORK CHOPS WITH SAUERKRAUT



Polish Pork Chops With Sauerkraut image

This is a fantastic way to prepare pork chops. I've been doing it for years. For the apples, I usually use Granny Smiths, but you can use any apple that you'd normally eat on its own. DON'T use a cooking apple. You need a sweeter apple to balance with the sauerkraut.

Provided by Cluich

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
6 pork loin chops
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 lbs sauerkraut
1 bay leaf
1 cup chicken broth
1 large sweet apple, peeled, cored, and diced
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a flameproof casserole dish, and fry the chops till browned on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add onion and garlic to the dish and fry till transparent.
  • Season with salt and pepper, add the sauerkraut and the bay leaf, and then arrange the pork chops on top.
  • Pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Add apple and cumin. Stir well and simmer for another 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning and serve.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-packaged sauerkraut. If using fresh sauerkraut, rinse it well and squeeze out any excess liquid before cooking.
  • For a sweeter dish, use sweeter apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji. For a tarter dish, use tarter apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
  • If you don't have caraway seeds, you can substitute with a mixture of cumin and fennel seeds.
  • Serve pork chops with sauerkraut and apples with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with sauerkraut and apples is a classic German dish that is easy to make and full of flavor. The combination of the tender pork chops, tangy sauerkraut, and sweet apples is a perfect balance of flavors. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
