Easy Eats – Pork & Sauerkraut
Ingredients
2 large onions, chopped
6 TB butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 lb bag of sauerkraut
3-4 lb pork roast
salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 250. Melt butter over medium-high heat in a saute pan. Add onions and saute until golden brown, about 10- 15 minutes. Empty sauerkraut into a colander. Rinse it and squeeze out all the liquid a few times. Set aside. Add garlic to onions, saute for a minute or two. Add sauerkraut to saute pan. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 15 minutes, mixing often, until everything is well blended. Add a bit more butter if mixture seems too dry. Generously salt and pepper all sides of a pork roast. Place into a roasting pan. Spoon sauerkraut over roast. Cover with lid and cook for 5-6 hours or until pork is fork tender. If using a lean roast, check pan after an hour. If everything seems to be drying out, add a cup of water. When pork is tender, shred/chunk pork, remove any bones, salt & pepper to taste and mix pork and sauerkraut together. Serve over mashed potatoes, spaetzle, noodles or potato chunks. Enjoy : )
