SAUERKRAUT AND RIBS

Source: Memories of my past. Sauerkraut and Ribs, a one pot meal. Hot buttery mashed potatoes is a must with this dish and maybe some rye bread and butter. Extra special when served with Homemade Apple Sauce on the side. YUM-OH!

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

amount of ingredients depends on your needs.
1 can, jar or small bag sauerkraut
1-2 lb pork spareribs, country style ribs (or your choice of pork ribs)
1 large apple, grated (i like honeycrisp)
water, enough to cover ingredients
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Place ribs in a large pan, add enough water to cover ribs and season with pepper. Cover pan and bring to a boil, turn heat down and simmer until ribs are just tender (fork inserts easily but won't come out without resistance). Add sauerkraut and grated apple, add more water if needed. Cover and bring back to a boil, turn heat down and simmer until ribs are tender and starting to fall apart. Now they are done and ready to serve.
  • 2. VARIATION: Sliced onion can be added to the pot when the sauerkraut is added. Instead of serving mashed potatoes with this meal the potatoes can be cut up in large chunks and added to the pot about 1/2 hr or so before meat is done.

COUNTRY PORK RIBS WITH APPLES AND SAUERKRAUT RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Country Pork Ribs with Apples and Sauerkraut Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by WheretheMagicHappens

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pounds Boneless Pork Ribs
1 cup Flour
2-3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
Salt and Pepper, about a teaspoon each
1 32 ounce jar Steinfeld's Home Style Sauerkraut, undrained (or equal amount of brand available in your area)
3 Apples, peeled and cubed
1 20 ounce can Crushed Pineapple, undrained
1 medium Onion, peeled and sliced
3-5 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Caraway Seed
2-3 Bay Leaves
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Remove the extra hunks of fat from the pork ribs. Put flour, salt and pepper iinto a gallon sized ziploc bag. Add the pork ribs 2 or 3 at a time, and shake until well coated. Add the oil to a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork and brown on all sides, adding a little more oil if needed. Remove pork from your pan. Add more oil if needed. Peel and core your apples and cut into chunks. Peel and slice your onions, cut in half once then slice into strips. Peel and mince your garlic. Over medium heat, add onions to the pan and stir them around. At this point you can turn the heat down low, cover them with a lid. Add the minced garlic after a few minutes, and set the timer for no more than 5 minutes or until they are translucent. Don't let the garlic burn! Add the sauerkraut, apples, pineapple, bay leaves and caraway seeds. Stir them around together until well mixed. Add the pork and lay them on top of the liquid mixture. Cover and simmer for about 3 hours. Check the hear in about 20 minutes to make sure it is simmering, not boiling. If your liquid evaporates you can add a little water, apple or pineapple juice. You want it to have liquid throughout the cooking time and until you serve. I give it a stir every hour or so to make sure it has enough liquid and is still happily simmering away. Add salt and pepper to suit your taste. Notes: We tend to use a ladle to fill our bowls right from the dutch oven when it's just the two of us! We like to eat it like a bowl of soup. When I serve it to guests, I remove the pork and place it on a warm serving plate and place the sauerkraut mixture around the pork. Add a nice salad and a hard roll for sopping up the liquid and you have yourself a meal. I have served this with boiled potatoes but they aren't necessary. I usually add 2 jars of sauerkraut because we like a higher ratio of sauerkraut to meat. This is a great recipe to make the day before. The flavors blend together even more by the next day. Another benefit to makeing it the day before: you can take the extra fat off easier as it is sitting on top when cold. You can remove it with a fork or a spatula.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of sauerkraut. Fresh sauerkraut is best, but canned or jarred sauerkraut can also be used. If using canned or jarred sauerkraut, rinse it well before using to remove excess salt.
  • Brown the ribs before braising them. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings to flavor the sauerkraut and ribs. Common spices used include caraway seeds, juniper berries, and bay leaves. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, onion, and pepper.
  • Braising the ribs and sauerkraut low and slow will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the sauerkraut and ribs with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or bread.

Conclusion:

Sauerkraut and ribs is a classic German dish that is hearty, flavorful, and easy to make. By following these tips, you can create a delicious sauerkraut and ribs dish that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give sauerkraut and ribs a try.
