PORK ROAST AND SAUERKRAUT
My family which is mostly German-Irish ate the same meal for New Year's every year of my life. It consisted of pork roast, sauerkraut, kielbasa and mashed potatoes. We ate the pork (pork roast and kielbasa) because pigs are a symbol of progress. Pigs push forward, rooting themselves in the ground before moving, and we need to move into the New Year in the same way. We eat sauerkraut, as it's believed it will bring blessings and wealth for the new year. It also reminds us that with the good comes the bitter as well. We eat potatoes to remind us that even as poor men we still had potatoes to eat.

- Brown the pork roast before braising it. This will help to develop the flavor of the roast and create a nice crust.
- Use a good quality sauerkraut. Look for sauerkraut that is made with natural ingredients and has a tangy, slightly sour flavor.
- Add some aromatics to the braising liquid. This could include onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and bay leaves. These aromatics will help to add flavor to the roast and the sauerkraut.

- Serve the pork roast and sauerkraut with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and applesauce.
