GRANDMA'S PORK AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet over medium high heat, add ½ of the olive oil and let oil warm for about a minute. 2. Add half of the pork chops to the pan and season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Sear the chops for 2-3 minutes or until chops are golden brown on the bottom. 3. Turn pork chops over, season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper and continue to cook another 2-3 minutes. 4. Remove pork chops and set aside on a plate. Repeat process with the remaining pork chops using the remainder of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. 5. Remove the second set of pork chops from the pan and place on the plate with the first set of pork chops. 6. Reduce heat to medium low and add can of sauerkraut to the pan; stir sauerkraut to get the fond from the chops off of the bottom of the pan (this will turn your sauerkraut a medium brown color). 7. Place the pork chops on top of the sauerkraut (including any juices collected on the plate from the chops). 8. Pour the water over the pork chops and then cover pan and cook an additional 30 minutes or until pork chops are fork tender.

PORK AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place pork roast in a large roasting pan. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix sauerkraut, water, onion, and apple together in a large bowl. Pour sauerkraut mixture over roast.
• Bake roast in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Continue to cook roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), adding water if sauerkraut mixture looks dry, about 2 hours more.
• Remove roast from oven and allow to rest in a warm area before slicing, about 10 minutes.

SAUERKRAUT MY GRANDMA'S WAY

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
• 2. Layer slightly drained sauerkraut, sliced onions and apples in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
• 3. Sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic over pork. Lay on top of sauerkraut. Cover roaster. Bake for 1 3/4 hours.
• 4. Add kielbasa, cut into 2-3 inch pieces to roaster and continue baking for another 30 minutes.
• 5. I serve this dish just like my grandma did. Mashed potatoes, homemade applesauce and a good dark rye along with a good beer. Not the prettiest dish color wise with everything being the same color, but delicious never the less.
