ALSATIAN RIB-STICKING PORK CHOP CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 300º.
• 2. Fry 2 slices of the bacon in a large skillet until crisp; crumble and reserve. Trim excess fat from chops; brown in bacon drippings.
• 3. Arrange half of the potatoes in a single layer in a deep baking dish or Dutch oven with lid, preferably earthenware or enameled cast iron. Top with half the onions; sprinkle with half the salt and pepper.
• 4. Place chops over onions, overlapping if necessary, to form a single layer. Repeat with remaining potatoes and onions, salt and pepper. Crush caraway seeds; sprinkle over baking dish along with wine and garlic. Place remaing bacon over top. Cover with a double thickness of foil, then with lid.
• 5. Roast in slow oven (300º)2 and 1/2 hours, or until meat and potatoes are tender. Discard bacon; skim off fat, if necessary. Sprinkle with parsley and crumbled bacon. Good!

STICKY SPARE RIBS CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In a medium bowl, make the marinade by whisking together the mustard, molasses, five-spice powder, and salt.
• Pat the ribs dry, remove the membrane, and cut the rack in half. Place the ribs in a baking pan and rub with the marinade on both sides.
• In the Dutch oven, toss the cabbage, apples, green onions, cherries, cider vinegar, ghee, and salt.
• Place the ribs on top of the vegetables, meaty side up, cover, and cook for 1 hour.
• Carefully remove the lid so the steam does not burn you, and switch the oven to broil; broil the ribs for another 10 minutes or until they are brown. Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

ALSATIAN PORK AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep pot, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring to turn pieces occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon pieces on a paper towel-lined plate. With a paper towel, wipe the bacon grease out of the pot but keep as much of the brown bits as possible. Stir in the onion, sauerkraut, brown sugar, and chicken broth, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the potatoes and apple slices.
• Place the juniper berries, peppercorns, cloves, parsley, and bay leaf into a small cheesecloth square, and tie the ends together to make a spice bag (or place the spices into a stainless steel tea ball). Place the spice bag into the pot, and add the pork chops and kielbasa sausage pieces. Add more chicken broth, if needed, to just cover the ingredients. Bring the pot to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the potatoes are very tender, about 1 hour.
• To serve, use a slotted spoon to remove the sauerkraut, potatoes, and apple slices to the center of a serving platter. Arrange bacon, pork chops, and kielbasa pieces around the outside of the platter.
