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.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 pork chops
olive oil or butter
1 lb sauerkraut, rinsed with fresh water and drained
1 large tart apple, peeled, cored and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup riesling wine

Directions

1
Salt and pepper the chops and brown them in hot oil or butter, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
2
Add the apple and onions to the same skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion starts to look golden.
3
Add the wine and stir, scraping up all the browned bits, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
4
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.
5
Note1: I've also made this successfully with chardonnay, but riesling is the best.
6
Note2: Sauerkraut packed in plastic bags and sold in the refrigerator case tastes much better than the canned.

A lovely recipe. It's so easy to make, and can be recommended for people who like sauerkraut (like us)! It won't set the world on fire, but we really liked it! With it, we had beans in tomato sauce, fresh peas, and plain boiled potatoes. I think next time I might add cumin seeds to the recipe. I added no more than 1/2 t sugar as well. I do apologise for the photograph, because as this is a dish without much natural colour it is hard to do justice to it in a photograph!! Thanks, Duonyte, this was just what I needed for my pork loin chops tonight!

This was pretty good. I can see where using pork loin (as mentioned in reviews) would be tastier than just chops. Good but now a wow for us. Thanks!

Very tasty supper and easy to put together. I didn't rinse the sauerkraut, we like the flavours. I used the olive oil and a chardenay wine, turned out great! and the chops were lovely and tender. thanks for posting I will be making this one again!

Excellent and easy. I used the Riesling and GS apples - I tasted near the end and it was a little too bitter for our tastes. I added a tbsp of brown sugar. Turned out great! Thanks for posting - will be making again.
