Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 32 ounces Sauerkraut (drained)
- 1 whole Onion (medium, sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 whole Apple (medium, peeled and diced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the country-style pork ribs with salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.
Sear the ribs in the hot oil until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the ribs from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and the onions begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the drained sauerkraut, caraway seeds, diced apple, and brown sugar. Mix until evenly combined.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir well to deglaze the bottom of the skillet, scraping up any browned bits for added flavor.
Return the seared ribs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauerkraut mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender and nearly falling off the bone.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the country-style ribs with sauerkraut warm, paired with mashed potatoes or crusty bread, if desired.
