Recipes » Choucroute Alsacienne
a delicous casserole with pork and sauerkraut

Summary:this is what goes at the top of the site

This is a traditional Alsacian recipe, rather simplified here, but oh so delicious

Ingredients

  • 4-6 pork loin chops, boneless
  • 1 pound of sauerkraut
  • 4-6 medium potatoes
  • 1-2 medium onions
  • 1-2 medium apples
  • 1/2 cup white wine (I usually use Gewertztrameiner or Reisling)
  • salt and pepper
  • carraway seeds

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F
  2. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, both sides
  3. Peel and slice onion
  4. Slice apple
  5. Peel and cube potatoes
  6. Rinse and drain the sauerkraut. Mix in carroway seeds
  7. Sautée onion and apple for a few minutes in a pan
  8. Add pork chops and sear well on both sides
  9. In a dutch oven or covered casserole dish, put potatoes, onion, apple and pork chops in the bottom
  10. Put the sauerkraut over the top
  11. Pour in the wine
  12. Season to taste
  13. Cover and place in the oven for 50-60 minutes

Variations

This time I didn't have any carroway seeds, so instead I used sage, thyme and paprika as seasoning. If I'd had any rosemary, I'd have used that as well.

Comments

Jaques Pépin has a fantastic Choucroute Garnie recipe that involves using pork ribs, kielbasa sausage, skinless hot dogs and baked ham in the dish.
