PORK AND SAUERKRAUT
Eating sauerkraut on New Year's is an old Pennsylvania Dutch tradition, said to bring good luck. The traditional meal consists of pork and sauerkraut served together, with sauerkraut representing luck and the pig representing rooting into the New Year. It's a feel-good and flavorsome ritual and it may be just what you need to start the New Year. Serve with mashed potatoes or dumplings.

Steps:

- While the sauerkraut mixture is the simmering, sprinkle both sides of the chops with salt, let the chops stand between layers of paper towel for 10 minutes, and season them with pepper. In a heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the chops for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they are just cooked through. Stir 1 tablespoon of the dill into the sauerkraut mixture and transfer the mixture to a heated platter. Top the sauerkraut mixture with the chops and sprinkle the chops with the remaining 1 tablespoon dill.

PORK AND SAUERKRAUT - CROCK POT STYLE
I had some lean, boneless pork chops on hand and had a craving for sauerkraut, but without any apples (which I usually cook with). I threw all these ingredients together and had a pleasant surprise for supper. Served this concoction over boiled potatoes....and, me being me, I added a dollop of sour cream on top....thought I was in heaven. I don't think that there is another identical recipe on the Zaar.....could add caraway seeds, but DH doesn't like them, so I don't use them, but would change the taste

REALLY EASY PORK AND SAUERKRAUT BAKE
I threw this together when I was really craving kraut. It can be really hard to get good kraut in the UK but as I grew up Pennsylvania Dutch sometimes it is hard to ignore the calling of the kraut juice in my veins. This is really easy and reminds me of when my mother would slow cook pork and kraut for New Year's Eve. Using the lean pork steaks actually makes this pretty low fat. It goes well with mashed potatoes.

Tips for Making the Best Pork Sautéed with Sauerkraut:
- Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder or pork loin are both good options for this dish.
- Brown the pork before adding the sauerkraut. This will help to develop the flavor of the pork and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a good quality sauerkraut. Look for sauerkraut that is made with fresh cabbage and has a slightly sour flavor.
- Add some spices and herbs to the dish. Common spices used with sauerkraut include caraway seeds, juniper berries, and bay leaves. Herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and sage can also be added.
- Cook the dish low and slow. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pork to become tender.
- Serve the dish with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad are all good options.

Pork sautéed with sauerkraut is a classic German dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
