Smoked Pork Chops with Sauerkraut
A hearty dish combining succulent pork chops and tangy sauerkraut, enhanced with apple and a variety of spices.
Ingredients
- unsalted butter (1 tablespoon)
- smoked fully-cooked pork chops (4 )
- onion (1 cup)
- sauerkraut (1 jar)
- apple (1 )
- beef broth (0.5 cup)
- bacon grease (1 teaspoon)
- garlic (1 )
- juniper berries (5 )
- bay leaf (1 )
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly sear meat for 2 minutes on each side, and remove from pan. Reduce heat to medium, add onions, and sauté for 3 minutes.
- Stir in sauerkraut, apple, beef broth, bacon grease, garlic, juniper berries, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove bay leaf, add chops back to skillet, and nestle in the kraut. Simmer just until chops are warmed up, 3 to 5 minutes. Cooking further will dry them out.
