Pork Chops Baked in Pear Sauerkraut image

Served with mashed potatoes, this meal reminds me of time I spent in Germany. A real German hausfrau would cook up an apple in her sauerkraut, but using baby food is a real time-saver and still softens the flavor of the sauerkraut and makes it delicious.

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 boneless center cut pork chops, 1/2 inch thick (4 to 5 oz. each)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 lb sauerkraut (bagged, not canned!)
1 (6 ounce) jar pear baby food or 1 (6 ounce) jar apple baby food

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
  • Add pork chops and cook about 2 minutes per side, turning once, until lightly browned.
  • Remove skillet from heat and remove chops to a plate.
  • Sprinkle with pepper and salt.
  • Meanwhile drain sauerkraut, rinse under cold water, and squeeze dry with paper towels.
  • Mix sauerkraut and puréed pears in the skillet.
  • Top with pork chops.
  • Bake uncovered, 18 to 20 minutes, until centers of chops are opaque and barely pink.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes.
  • Note: My supermarket stores the bagged sauerkraut in the meat section near the bratwurst and other sausages.
  • It really is better tasting than any of the canned or jarred kinds I've tried, if you can find it.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pork chops were cooked perfectly. However, I found the sauerkraut to be a bit too sour for my taste. Next time, I will try using a different type of sauerkraut or adding a bit of sugar to balance out the flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork chops turned out dry and tough. The sauerkraut was also bland. I would not recommend this recipe.
