Categories     Stew

Time 1h

Yield 5 portions, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

700 g pork necks (no bones)
150 g onions
100 g lard
1 teaspoon flour (optional)
1 teaspoon paprika (dried, red)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1 1/2 cups white wine
800 g sauerkraut
100 g sour cream
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt

  • Cut pork meat into small pieces.
  • Finely slice onion and sauté it on lard until soft. Add meat and continue to sauté it until meat starts to change color.
  • Add paprika and mix. Add some wine and continue to sauté it.
  • After 10 to 15 minutes add sauerkraut (sliced), bay leaf, caraway seeds and more wine. Add water and brine (only if you like it really sour).
  • Cook 30 to 40 minutes on low fire. After 20 minutes add flour (just one teaspon if you want thicker stew) and mix well. Continue to cook until sauerkraut is soft.
  • Before serving add sour cream and mix.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork neck. Look for a piece of meat that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help it stay moist during cooking.
  • Brown the pork neck before braising it. This will help to develop flavor and create a crispy crust.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your sauerkraut. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Cook the sauerkraut until it is tender but still has a bit of crunch. Overcooked sauerkraut will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve the pork neck sauerkraut with mashed potatoes, spaetzle, or dumplings. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
