Pork Roast With Kielbasa And Sauerkraut Recipes

Steps:

• Heat bacon drippings in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot drippings until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir diced apple and caraway seeds with the onion and cook until apple is just tender, about 3 minutes more. Add sauerkraut and stir.
• Stir white wine, chicken stock, and brown sugar together in a bowl; pour over the sauerkraut mixture.
• Put pork roast into the bottom of the crock of your slow cooker. Pour sauerkraut mixture over the pork.
• Cook on Low until the pork easily falls apart when pulled with a fork, 6 to 8 hours; add kielbasa sausage pieces and continue to cook until the sausage is heated through, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Steps:

• Spray 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
• In slow cooker, place potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of the thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Toss to coat.
• Season ribs with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook ribs in oil, turning occasionally, until browned. Transfer to large bowl.
• Add onion to skillet with drippings, stirring 5 to 6 minutes, until lightly browned. Transfer to slow cooker. Add broth to skillet; heat to boiling, scraping up any brown bits on bottom of skillet. Add to slow cooker.
• Add kielbasa and mustard to pork in bowl. Toss to coat.
• Arrange pork and kielbasa on top of onions in slow cooker.
• Spread sauerkraut over meat. Sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon thyme over sauerkraut.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 to 8 hours or until ribs and potatoes are tender.

Steps:

• Drain the sauerkraut and reserve the brine. Taste the sauerkraut and if you find it much too strong, rinse it until you like the way it tastes -- keeping in mind that the flavor will be diminished when it is cooked with the other ingredients. Drain well and set aside.
• Heat the broth in the pressure cooker. Set the dried mushrooms in a bowl and pour the hot broth over, submerging them in the broth with the back of a spoon. Cover with a plate and set aside until the mushrooms are soft, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rinse and dry out the cooker. Heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork and kielbasa in 3 or 4 batches, about 4 minutes per batch, adding more oil if needed. Set aside.
• With a slotted spoon, remove the reconstituted mushrooms from the broth and squeeze them over the bowl to catch the liquid they release. Coarsely chop the mushrooms if the pieces are large. Carefully pour the broth into the cooker, taking care to leave behind any sediment on the bottom. Set the cooker over medium heat and stir well to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Add the mushrooms and half of the sauerkraut. Set the browned pork and kielbasa on top. Cover with the remaining sauerkraut and sprinkle caraway seeds on top. Set the potatoes and parsnips on the kraut.
• Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 10 minutes. Quick-release the pressure. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow excess steam to escape.
• Ladle out 1/2 cup of the broth and blend the sour cream into it. Then stir this mixture back into the pot as you stir well to distribute all of the ingredients. If you'd like a stronger sauerkraut flavor, add some or all of the reserved brine. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle lightly with dill. Pass additional sour cream in a bowl at the table.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven broiler. Place the roast in a roasting pan, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with thyme leaves, and season with salt and pepper. Place under the broiler for 10 minutes, until lightly browned in several places. 2. Place 2 pounds sauerkraut in a slow cooker. Arrange kielbasa pieces around the edges of the slow cooker pot, and place the roast in the center. Cover with remaining sauerkraut. 3. Cover slow cooker, and cook roast 6 hours on High.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; rub over roast. Place roast fat side up in a Dutch oven. Combine sauerkraut and sugar if desired. Spoon sauerkraut and sausage over and around roast. , Cover and bake at 350° for 2-1/4 to 2-3/4 hours or until a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler in the oven. Place the roast in a roasting pan, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with thyme leaves (hubby not a fan of thyme, I used parsley), and season with salt and pepper.
• Place under the broiler for 10 - 15 minutes, until lightly browned in several places.
• Place 2 lbs of the sauerkraut in the slow cooker.
• Place the roast in the center over the sauerkraut, topped with apples.
• Optional: Add quartered red potatoes, and thin sliced carrots.
• Arrange kielbasa pieces around the edges of the crock.
• Cover with remaining sauerkraut.
• Cover. Cook on High for 6 hours.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and stir well. Submerse the apple under the other ingredients.
• Cook on High for one hour, reduce heat to Low and continue cooking for 5 hours or until pork is cooked through. Discard apple and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place pork roast in a large roasting pan. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix sauerkraut, water, onion, and apple together in a large bowl. Pour sauerkraut mixture over roast.
• Bake roast in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Continue to cook roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), adding water if sauerkraut mixture looks dry, about 2 hours more.
• Remove roast from oven and allow to rest in a warm area before slicing, about 10 minutes.
