This is a basically quick dish for that last minute company.
Ingredients
- 6 smoked pork chops, 1/2-inch thick shopping list
- salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste shopping list
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter shopping list
- 2 medium onions, peeled and sliced into thin rings shopping list
- 2 medium tart apples, such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and sliced thin lengthwise shopping list
- 1 quart sauerkraut, 4 cups shopping list
- 2-1/2 cups homemade or canned chicken stock shopping list
- 1 tablespoon caraway seeds shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops and brown, turning once. Remove the chops and keep warm.
- Add the onions and apples to the skillet, adding a little more butter if needed. Sauté until the onions are softened. Remove the pan from the heat. Remove the apples and onions from the skillet.
- Drain and rinse the sauerkraut. Press out any excess moisture. Place the sauerkraut and 1/2 cup of the chicken stock in the skillet and simmer over medium heat until the stock reduces. The sauerkraut should wilt a little as it cooks. Sprinkle with a little of the caraway seeds.
- Turn the sauerkraut into a large, buttered, ovenproof casserole. Arrange the pork chops on top of the sauerkraut. Spread the onion and apple mixture on top of the pork. Pour the remaining 2 cups chicken stock over all. Sprinkle the remaining caraway seeds on top.
- Cover the casserole with a lid or aluminum foil. Place on the center rack of the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the excess moisture is absorbed.
