Recipe Summary Pork Roast And Sauerkraut
My family which is mostly German-Irish ate the same meal for New Year's every year of my life. It consisted of pork roast, sauerkraut, kielbasa and mashed potatoes. We ate the pork (pork roast and kielbasa) because pigs are a symbol of progress. Pigs push forward, rooting themselves in the ground before moving, and we need to move into the New Year in the same way. We eat sauerkraut, as it's believed it will bring blessings and wealth for the new year. It also reminds us that with the good comes the bitter as well. We eat potatoes to remind us that even as poor men we still had potatoes to eat.Ingredients | Slow Cooker Recipes For Pork Roast With Sauerkraut
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
1 cup minced onion
1 large red apple, diced
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 pounds sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 pounds boneless pork loin roast
1 pound kielbasa sausage, cut into 3-inch pieces
Directions
Heat bacon drippings in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot drippings until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir diced apple and caraway seeds with the onion and cook until apple is just tender, about 3 minutes more. Add sauerkraut and stir.
Stir white wine, chicken stock, and brown sugar together in a bowl; pour over the sauerkraut mixture.
Put pork roast into the bottom of the crock of your slow cooker. Pour sauerkraut mixture over the pork.
Cook on Low until the pork easily falls apart when pulled with a fork, 6 to 8 hours; add kielbasa sausage pieces and continue to cook until the sausage is heated through, 15 to 20 minutes more.
