Steps:

  • The crown is sometimes made with two rib ends of the loin and sometimes with the entire loin, which makes a most spectacular roast. Wrap the ends of the rib bones with foil to keep them from charring. Rub the meat with freshly ground black pepper, a bit of sage and rosemary, or just sage and garlic. Make a heavy cushion of foil to fill the center of the crown while roasting. Place on a rack and roast in a 325°F. oven, allowing about 25 minutes per pound. Baste from time to time with white wine.
  • While the roast is cooking, wash 3 pounds sauerkraut, and place it in a kettle lined with strips of bacon. Add 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, a few juniper berries, and enough white wine to barely cover the sauerkraut. Bring it to a boil and simmer. A half-hour before the roast is done, add a Polish or a garlic sausage to the sauerkraut and let them cook together. When the roast has reached an internal temperature of 170°F., remove it to a hot platter. Discard the foil and replace with paper frills.
  • Remove the foil from the center, fill the center with the sauerkraut, and garnish with slices of the sausage. Serve with boiled parsley potatoes and a salad of Bibb lettuce and grated beets. Drink a fruity Alsatian wine such as a Gewürztraminer.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauerkraut helped to balance out the flavor of the pork.

The pork was cooked perfectly, but the sauerkraut was a bit too sour for me.

This dish was way too salty for my taste.

I found the recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think it would be easier to just use a pork loin roast.
