Sauerkraut image

This is my version, taken from the way my mother and grandmother used to make it. I varied the ingredients a little, so feel free to do the same! For the meat portion of this recipe, I have used Knockwurst and country boneless ribs with great success.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large sauerkraut (preferably hebrew national)
1 large onions, yellow, medium, finely chopped
1 pound(s) bacon, double smoked
1 medium apple (preferably granny smith), finely chopped
1 liter(s) pork broth
1 bottle(s) white wine, your choice
1 large pork cuts of your choice (see notes)
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil

Steps:

  • Start by draining your sauerkraut in a thin-wired collander. Rinse with cold water to remove some of the excess salt water.
  • In a large skillet, saute the bacon in 1 tbls of olive oil until the fat starts to turn translucent.
  • Add the diced onion, and saute with the bacon until the onion starts to soften.
  • Pour the bacon/onion combo into the pot you'll be using to cook the sauerkraut. In this case, I prefer the black metal roasting pans.
  • Add the chopped apple to the bacon and onion and mix thoroughly to combine. The apple in this recipe removes some of the bitterness from the sauerkraut.
  • Add the sauerkraut to the bacon/onion/apple, and stir to combine. Ensure that the sauerkraut is level.
  • Thoroughly clean your skillet, because you'll be using it again.
  • If you're using the country ribs for this recipe, add a generous amount of salt and pepper to each side.
  • Brown each rib in the other tbl of olive oil, ensuring each side has been seared. They should be a golden brown color at this point.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degreed Fahrenheit.
  • Pour the pork broth in to the pot of sauerkraut. At this point, then add enough white wine to come to roughly 1/2 inch below the sauerkraut level.
  • Heat the sauerkraut combo to boiling, then turn off the heat.
  • Set each rib on top of the sauerkraut, and push each one halfway in. After one half hour, turn the ribs so the other half in partially submerged.
  • After 2 hours, remove the sauerkraut from the oven, and enjoy!
