Flavorful German Pork Chops And Sauerkraut Food

PORK AND SAUERKRAUT (GERMAN PORK CHOPS) - WHOLE30, PALEO

Steps:

• Peel and dice the potatoes, apple, and onion, if using. Set them aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
• While the oven preheats, pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season very lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a large dutch oven on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
• Add the oil. Once the oil is shimmering (about 1 minute), add the pork chops. Brown on each side for about 3 minutes per side. They should easily release once they're ready to be flipped.
• Set the pork chops aside and add the saurkraut to the hot dutch oven. With a wooden spoon, gently scrape the bottom to deglaze it. Add the onion, potatoes and apples and then lay the pork chops on top. Sprinkle the caraway seeds.
• Cover and bake in the oven for one hour. Remove the dutch oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve!

GERMAN PORK CHOPS AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the pork chops on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Place the chops into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Mix the sauerkraut, apple, onion, brown sugar, and caraway seeds in a bowl until well combined, and spread the sauerkraut mixture over the pork chops. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink inside, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

GERMAN PORK CHOPS WITH SAUERKRAUT FROM THE GEHOS

Steps:

• Dry the pork chops. Salt and pepper them, then dredge them in flour.
• In a medium hot, seasoned cast iron skillet (or pan you can use on top of the stove and in the oven), brown the chops. Remove them to a dish.
• Add the sauerkraut to the pan and stir up the meat juices into it. Add the wine and water, and the juniper berries. (You may use all wine or all water!) The liquid should just come to the surface of the kraut, or just under. Sprinkle on some salt and pepper. Add the optional caraway, if you like. Using a fork, quickly blend everything.
• Bury the pork chops back into the sauerkraut. Cook in a 325 F oven for 40 minutes. Lift out the chops; check the liquid level. Add more liquid if little remains; you don't want the kraut to dry out and burn the pan its final 20 minutes in the oven.
• Arrange the chops on top of the sauerkraut. Return the dish to the oven and cook another 20 minutes. At the end of cooking, little liquid should remain to transfer to your dinner plate. The pork should have browned again. If the kraut should become dry, cover with foil to avoid scorching.
• Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes and a green vegetable. You can make this during the final 20 minutes the pork chops cook.
• *note: if using a very salty, brined sauerkraut, you must rinse it several times.

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.

DEUTSCHE STYLE PORK & SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Remove the membrane (stomach lining) from the ribs and cut off excessive fat. Rinse under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the ribs with garlic powder, salt and pepper and place on a rack in a baking pan. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 40 minutes or till the ribs are nicely browned.
• Meanwhile, slice the kielbasa into 3" pieces then slice each piece lengthwise. Or cut the bratwursts in half crosswise then slice them lengthwise. Spray a large skillet with vegetable oil and brown the cut side of the meat slices in a skillet over medium heat till lightly browned. Remove the meat from the skillet and set the meat aside on a plate.
• When the ribs are done, cut into single rib portions and place into an 8 quart stockpot. Add the peppercorns and the ribs to the pot.
• Cut off any fat from the smoked pork chops and place into the stockpot.
• Add the bay leaf and the peppercorns to the stockpot. Add the prepared kielbasa or bratwurst, un-drained sauerkraut and water to the stockpot. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 1 hour. Remove the bay leaf and the peppercorns from the pot and discard them before serving the pork & kraut.
• Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and boil in salted water till fork tender.
• Cut the meat from the smoked pork chops, cut the meat into bite sized pieces, return the meat to the pot and reserve the bones for making pork stock in the future.
• Serve with boiled potatoes. My Deutsche family smashes the potatoes on one side of their plates with a fork then they smear some butter over the potatoes. Follow with topping the potatoes with some kraut and kraut juice and placing some meat on the vacant side of their plates. Refrigerate any leftover pork and kraut in a sealable plastic storage bag. Reserve and refrigerate any leftover potatoes in a sealable plastic storage bag for making potato pancakes.
• Guten Appetit.
