  • When searing the pork, ensure it develops a nice brown crust on all sides. This crust will add flavor and color to the final dish.
  • Use a good quality lager or beer for the braising liquid. The beer adds a subtle flavor and helps tenderize the meat.
  • Sauerkraut is a traditional accompaniment to smoked pork. You can use store-bought sauerkraut or make your own. If using store-bought sauerkraut, rinse it well to remove excess acidity.
  • Serve the smoked pork with mashed potatoes, dumplings, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Smoked pork with sauerkraut is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The combination of smoky pork, tangy sauerkraut, and flavorful braising liquid creates a dish that is both comforting and satisfying. This dish is also relatively easy to make and can be prepared in a slow cooker, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
