Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 smoked pork chops (each about 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 2-pound jars sauerkraut, rinsed twice, drained well
2 garlic cloves, sliced
6 bay leaves
10 whole black peppercorns
2 russet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cut in half lengthwise
2 large tomatoes, peeled, quartered
3 cups water

Steps:

  • Boil smoked pork chops in large pot of water 5 minutes. Drain pork chops well.
  • Heat olive oil in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Arrange half of sauerkraut in bottom of Dutch oven. Sprinkle sauerkraut with sliced garlic, bay leaves and whole peppercorns. Arrange pork chops, potato pieces and quartered tomatoes over. Cover with remaining sauerkraut. Pour 3 cups water over. Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally (be careful not to break up potatoes).

I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut, but this recipe changed my mind. The sauerkraut was tangy and flavorful, and the smoked pork added a delicious smokiness.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sauerkraut. I added some kielbasa and apples to the pot, and it was a delicious and hearty meal.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it always turns out great. The key is to use good quality sauerkraut and smoked pork. I also like to add a little bit of caraway seeds for extra flavor.

This recipe is a keeper! The sauerkraut was tangy and flavorful, and the smoked pork added a delicious smokiness. I served it with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, and it was a hit with my family.
