Ingredients:
- 1 boneless pork shoulder roast, 4 to 5 pounds
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, halved and cored
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Chardonnay
- 2 pounds sauerkraut, squeezed dry
- 1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
How to cook:
- 1 Lay the pork flat, boned side up, on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, trim away any large pockets of fat. Starting at the thinner end of the meat, roll up the pork and securely tie the roll at regular intervals with kitchen twine. Season the pork generously with salt and pepper.
- 2 In a fry pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the canola oil. Add the pork and cook, turning frequently, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pork to a platter.
- 3 Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the onion, apples and thyme, and sauté until the onion and apples are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the apple mixture to a bowl.
- 4 *Oven method:* Preheat an oven to 325°F. Cover the bottom of a large Dutch oven with the sauerkraut. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and caraway seeds. Place the pork on top and surround with the apple mixture. Pour in the wine mixture. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook until the pork is fork-tender and shreds easily, 4 to 5 hours.
- 5 *Slow-cooker method:* Cover the bottom of a slow cooker with the sauerkraut. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and caraway seeds. Place the pork on top and surround with the apple mixture. Pour in the wine mixture. Cover and cook on low according to the manufacturer's instructions until the pork is fork-tender and shreds easily, 8 to 10 hours.
- 6 Transfer the pork to a carving board. Using a sharp knife, cut the pork crosswise into slices about 1/2 inch thick, removing the twine as you slice. Place the sauerkraut on a large platter and top with the pork slices. Surround with the apples and serve immediately.

How to cook:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, onion, caraway seeds, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the apples start browning around the edges, about 4 minutes. Add the sauerkraut and cook until the excess liquid evaporates about 2 minutes. Add the apple cider and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the apples and onion soften about 8 minutes.

Working in two batches, cook the pork until browned and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Serve the pork with the sauerkraut mixture; top with the parsley.

Ingredients:
- 7 to 8 pound bone-in pork butt roast (see headnote)
- 7 tablespoons dijon mustard, divided
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, divided
- 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons caraway seeds, coarsely ground, divided
- 2 tablespoons fennel seeds, coarsely ground, divided
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 3 pounds refrigerated sauerkraut (see headnote), rinsed and drained (about 6 cups)
- 1 large red onion, root end intact, cut into ½-inch wedges
- 6 ounces (1 cup) pitted prunes, halved
- 6 ounces (1 cup) dried apricots, halved
- 2 firm-textured apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
How to cook:
- Prepare Your Pork
- Heat the oven to 450°F with a rack in the lower-middle position. Set a V-rack in a large roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, score the fat side of the roast in a ½-inch crosshatch pattern.
- Make the Mixture
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons of the mustard, the ¼ cup vinegar, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the caraway, 1 tablespoon of the fennel, the coriander and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Measure 2 tablespoons of the mixture into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. Rub the remaining mustard mixture onto the pork, coating all sides.
- Roast the Pork
- Set the pork scored side up on the rack. Add 6 cups water to the roasting pan, then cover tightly with extra-wide foil. Roast for 3 hours, then remove from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Uncover the pork and, using potholders or oven mitts, carefully transfer the V-rack with the roast to a rimmed baking sheet. Tilt the roasting pan and use a wide spoon to remove and discard the fat from the surface of the liquid; leave the liquid in the pan.
- Continue to Roast
- To the roasting pan, add the sauerkraut, onion, prunes, apricots, apples, the remaining 1 tablespoon caraway, the remaining 1 tablespoon fennel, 1 teaspoon pepper and the reserved mustard mixture. Stir, then push the sauerkraut mixture to the edges of the roasting pan, creating a clearing in the center to allow air to circulate under the roast. Pour 1½ cups water into the pan and return the V-rack with the pork to the pan. Continue to roast until the center of the pork reaches 195°F and a skewer inserted into the thickest part meets just a little resistance, about another 2 hours.
- Let the Pork Rest
- Transfer the pork without the rack to a cutting board and let rest uncovered for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, remove the rack from the roasting pan, then mix the sauerkraut mixture in the roasting pan with the juices accumulated in the pan. Stir in ½ cup water, the remaining 1 tablespoon mustard and the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar; if needed, stir in additional water 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauerkraut mixture is slightly saucy. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Slice and Serve
- Remove the bone from the pork (it should slide out easily). Slice the pork against the grain about ½ inch thick. Transfer the sauerkraut mixture to a serving platter, then arrange the pork on top.
Pork Chops With Sauerkraut and Apple

This is a great recipe for people who think they don't like sauerkraut, as it's very mild and sweet prepared this way. I never would have thought of using wine in a sauerkraut dish, but it's great. Source lost in the mists of time.

- Salt and pepper the chops and brown them in hot oil or butter, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
- Add the apple and onions to the same skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion starts to look golden.
- Add the wine and stir, scraping up all the browned bits, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Stir in the sauerkraut, and place the chops on top, including any juices that have collected. Cover the skillet, lower the heat and cook until the chops are done, about 7 minutes, depending on thickness. Do not overcook.
- Note1: I've also made this successfully with chardonnay, but riesling is the best.
- Note2: Sauerkraut packed in plastic bags and sold in the refrigerator case tastes much better than the canned.
