🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 2 pounds pork spareribs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 16 ounces sauerkraut, drained

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Season the spareribs with salt, black pepper, and onion powder on all sides.

3. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the spareribs on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the spareribs from the Dutch oven and set them aside.

4. In the same Dutch oven, add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. Stir in the sauerkraut, apple cider, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

6. Nestle the spareribs back into the Dutch oven, placing them on top of the sauerkraut mixture.

7. Arrange the potatoes and carrots around the spareribs. Add the bay leaves and pour in the water or chicken stock to partially cover the vegetables and ribs.

8. Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to the oven. Bake for about 2 hours, or until the spareribs are tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

9. Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven. Discard the bay leaves and serve the spareribs, sauerkraut, and vegetables hot. Enjoy!
