Delicious Pork And Sauerkraut Recipe for a Hearty Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder (cut into chunks)
  • 1 cup sauerkraut (drained)
  • 1 medium onion (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sear the Pork

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add pork chunks and sear until browned on all sides.

    Do not overcrowd the pot; sear in batches if necessary.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics

    Remove the pork and set aside. In the same pot, add sliced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

    Scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate the brown bits for added flavor.
  3. Combine Ingredients

    Return the pork to the pot and add sauerkraut, chicken broth, caraway seeds, and black pepper.

    Ensure the pork is submerged in the liquid for even cooking.
  4. Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours or until the pork is tender.

    Check occasionally and add more broth if needed.
  5. Serve

    Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with potatoes or bread.

    Garnish with fresh parsley for added color.
