Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 2-pound jar sauerkraut, drained
5 bacon slices, chopped
4 pork loin chops (each about 1 1/4 inches thick)
4 assorted fully cooked sausages (such as bratwurst and knockwurst)
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped carrots
2 1/2 cups canned chicken broth
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup quartered dried apricots (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup quartered prunes (about 3 1/2 ounces)
Assorted mustards

Steps:

Place sauerkraut in large bowl. Fill bowl with enough cold water to cover; soak 30 minutes. Drain.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook bacon in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until brown and almost crisp, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Add pork chops to Dutch oven; cook over medium-high heat until golden, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Add sausages to Dutch oven; stir until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plate with pork chops. Reduce heat to medium. Add onions and carrots to Dutch oven and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes.
Add broth, wine, sauerkraut, and bacon to Dutch oven; stir to blend. Cover and bake 45 minutes.
Mix apricots and prunes into sauerkraut. Arrange pork chops and sausages over sauerkraut. Cover Dutch oven; bake until chops are cooked through and most of liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Serve hot, passing mustards separately.

Tips:

Use thick-cut pork chops for best results. Thinner chops will cook too quickly and become dry.
If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the pork chops.
Make sure the pork chops are evenly coated in flour before browning. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent sticking.
Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the pork chops. If you do, they will steam instead of brown.
Cook the pork chops over medium heat until they are browned on both sides and cooked through. This will take about 4-5 minutes per side.
Add the fruit and sauce ingredients to the pan and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the fruit is heated through and the sauce has thickened.
Serve the pork chops immediately with the fruit sauce.
