Pork and Sauerkraut image

Eating sauerkraut on New Year's is an old Pennsylvania Dutch tradition, said to bring good luck. The traditional meal consists of pork and sauerkraut served together, with sauerkraut representing luck and the pig representing rooting into the New Year. It's a feel-good and flavorsome ritual and it may be just what you need to start the New Year. Serve with mashed potatoes or dumplings.

Time 3h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (3 pound) pork roast
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (14.5 ounce) cans sauerkraut, or to taste
3 cups water, or more as needed
1 onion, chopped
1 apple - peeled, cored, and finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place pork roast in a large roasting pan. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix sauerkraut, water, onion, and apple together in a large bowl. Pour sauerkraut mixture over roast.
  • Bake roast in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Continue to cook roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), adding water if sauerkraut mixture looks dry, about 2 hours more.
  • Remove roast from oven and allow to rest in a warm area before slicing, about 10 minutes.

This dish was a bit too sour for my taste. I think next time I will use less sauerkraut. Otherwise, the pork was tender and flavorful.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut. But I'm so glad I did! The pork was so tender and flavorful, and the sauerkraut was actually really good. I will definitely be making this again.
