Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 2 cups Sauerkraut
- 1 Apple, peeled and diced
- 1 Yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Bay leaf
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Season the pork ribs on all sides with salt and black pepper.
Sear the pork ribs in the hot oil until they are browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the diced apple, brown sugar, and caraway seeds, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Stir in the sauerkraut and chicken broth, then place the bay leaf in the pot.
Return the seared pork ribs to the pot, nestling them into the sauerkraut mixture.
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and the flavors are well combined.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Serve the pork and sauerkraut warm, accompanied by mashed potatoes or crusty bread if desired.
