SLOW-COOKER PORK, SAUERKRAUT AND KIELBASA
Delight the hearty eaters in your life with this, the ultimate meat and potatoes dish. Actually, we should say meats, since it contains both country-style pork ribs and kielbasa sausage, which taste mighty fine served alongside creamy Yukon Gold potatoes. Keeping all those richly-flavored ingredients in check, is the zesty Dijon marinade and tangy sauerkraut. So while this certainly is not a light meal, it is well-balanced. The only thing it might be missing is a slice of brown rye bread and a stein of your favorite Oktoberfest brew. Prost!

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.

Steps:
- Drain the sauerkraut and reserve the brine. Taste the sauerkraut and if you find it much too strong, rinse it until you like the way it tastes -- keeping in mind that the flavor will be diminished when it is cooked with the other ingredients. Drain well and set aside.
- Heat the broth in the pressure cooker. Set the dried mushrooms in a bowl and pour the hot broth over, submerging them in the broth with the back of a spoon. Cover with a plate and set aside until the mushrooms are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse and dry out the cooker. Heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork and kielbasa in 3 or 4 batches, about 4 minutes per batch, adding more oil if needed. Set aside.
- With a slotted spoon, remove the reconstituted mushrooms from the broth and squeeze them over the bowl to catch the liquid they release. Coarsely chop the mushrooms if the pieces are large. Carefully pour the broth into the cooker, taking care to leave behind any sediment on the bottom. Set the cooker over medium heat and stir well to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Add the mushrooms and half of the sauerkraut. Set the browned pork and kielbasa on top. Cover with the remaining sauerkraut and sprinkle caraway seeds on top. Set the potatoes and parsnips on the kraut.
- Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 10 minutes. Quick-release the pressure. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow excess steam to escape.
- Ladle out 1/2 cup of the broth and blend the sour cream into it. Then stir this mixture back into the pot as you stir well to distribute all of the ingredients. If you'd like a stronger sauerkraut flavor, add some or all of the reserved brine. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle lightly with dill. Pass additional sour cream in a bowl at the table.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler in the oven. Place the roast in a roasting pan, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with thyme leaves (hubby not a fan of thyme, I used parsley), and season with salt and pepper.
- Place under the broiler for 10 - 15 minutes, until lightly browned in several places.
- Place 2 lbs of the sauerkraut in the slow cooker.
- Place the roast in the center over the sauerkraut, topped with apples.
- Optional: Add quartered red potatoes, and thin sliced carrots.
- Arrange kielbasa pieces around the edges of the crock.
- Cover with remaining sauerkraut.
- Cover. Cook on High for 6 hours.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork roast. A bone-in pork roast will have more flavor than a boneless roast. Look for a roast that is at least 3 pounds in weight.
- Brown the pork roast before roasting. This will help to seal in the juices and give the roast a nice crust.
- Use a flavorful marinade. A good marinade will help to tenderize the pork roast and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade made with wine, vinegar, and spices.
- Roast the pork roast at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the roast from drying out. Cook the roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the pork roast rest before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the roast, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Pork roast with kielbasa and sauerkraut is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. The pork roast is tender and flavorful, the kielbasa adds a smoky and savory flavor, and the sauerkraut is tangy and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
