Time 2h44m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups sauerkraut

½ cup dry white wine
1 bay leaf

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork loin. Look for a loin that is at least 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the pork stays moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Sear the pork loin before baking. Searing the pork loin will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices. To sear the pork loin, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork loin and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. Marinating the pork loin overnight will help to infuse it with flavor. There are many different marinade recipes to choose from, so find one that you like and that will complement the other flavors in the dish.
  • Roast the pork loin at a low temperature. Roasting the pork loin at a low temperature will help to keep it moist and tender. The ideal cooking temperature for pork loin is 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Roast the pork loin for 20-25 minutes per pound, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork loin rest before slicing. Once the pork loin is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Pork loin is a versatile and flavorful cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. When roasted with apples and sauerkraut, it creates a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily create a pork loin roast that your family and friends will love.
