Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Smoked pork chops
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 cups Sauerkraut
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
Instructions
Peel and slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.
Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Set both aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the smoked pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side to develop some color. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onions for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic, caraway seeds, and paprika to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the skillet with the onion mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, and stir to combine.
Pour in the chicken broth and spread the sauerkraut evenly over the potato mixture. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Nestle the smoked pork chops on top of the sauerkraut and potatoes. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let everything cook for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 30 minutes, check the tenderness of the potatoes. If needed, cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
