Pork Sampler and Sauerkraut

[Dark Cloud]

I made this tonight and it came out great!

I found a bunch of recipies on-line and modded up this one...

I had this.

2 1/2 pound boneless pork loin

2 pounds of bone-in country style ribs cut

1 ring of kielbasi

2 pints of sauerkraut

1 onion halved and sliced

3 stalks of cellery chopped

2 apples peeled and chopped

1 large tomoto chopped

1 quart of veggie stock

1 or 2 tablespoons of brown sugar

a few splashed of hot sauce...

I seasoned the loin and ribs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and seared them on all sides in a little olive oil then removed from the dutch oven. Toss in the onions and celery and saute for a few minutes. Add the stock, kraut, and ribs - simmer covered for about 45 minutes then add the apples and tomatos. Then plop the loin in and cook till it gets up to 140 internally - about an hour. (to be honest everyone liked the ribs way more than the loin and next time I make it i'll double up on ribs and leave out the loin) Towards the end I added the smoked kilebasi chunked up and some brown sugar, plus some hot sauce(seemed sweet so I wanted to balance it out).

My kraut was a bit salty so I didnt add any to the dish but did add some black pepper...

My mom and girlfriend dont like sauerkraut but really liked this dish!

Something differnt from anything iv'e made and i'll make it again.

As usual, thanks for the great pic alongside the great looking recipe. Have you ever thought of moving out to Nebraska?

Looks mighty tasty Darko. Thanks for sharing. I may have to try that on the boys coming for poker next week.

I am drooling as I type? They don't like sauerkraut? Have you tried rinsing it a little first? I make a sauerkraut soup and rinse the kraut and every non sauerkraut eater loves it and can't believe it is sauerkraut......Yeah, I will post it tomorrow

Another great looking meal Dark! Kraut and ribs reminds me of meals I had at home with mom and dad. I mention this to the wife and she just rolls her eyes at me.
