Ingredients
- 2 Bone-In Thick-Cut Pork Loin Chops Around 350g or 12oz Each
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 375 ml Chicken Stock 1½ Cups
- 350 g New Potatoes 2-2½ Cups
- 500 g Sauerkraut 3½-4 Cups
- 1 tablespoon Caraway Seeds
- 2 tablespoon Cooking Oil
Instructions
- If your pork chops have the rind on, cut it off with a kitchen knife, retaining a little of the fat, then season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a 28cm or 11" frying pan (not nonstick) over a high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil and brown the pork chops well on all sides (make sure that you pay attention to the fat). Then remove the pork and set aside.
- Drain most of the oil from the pan, then return it to the heat and deglaze it with the chicken stock.
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces (around 20mm or ¾").
- Drain the sauerkraut, you don't need to be to particular about this, a little of the juice is great in this recipe, but too much can overwhelm.
- Place the potatoes in the base of a 3.5-4 litre slow cooker or crockpot and pour over the stock.
- Spread half of the sauerkraut over the potatoes, sprinkle over half of the caraway seeds and place the seared chops on top.
- Sprinkle with the remaining caraway seeds, and spread the remaining sauerkraut over the top of the chops.
- Add the lid and cook on low for 3-4 hours before serving.
