Skinny Pennsylvania Dutch Pork & Sauerkraut by angela roberts

I grew up in Pennsylvania where food traditions are embedded in a serious and delicious way. I wrote more about it here.
The Pennsylvania Dutch food influence is so strong that you can guarantee that every single household in the area I’m from will be cooking the same exact dish. Pork and sauerkraut will either be on top of the stove, in the oven or in a crock pot. And, mashed potatoes will be somewhere in the kitchen often with apple sauce. It’s all so perfect together. It was the best way to start the new year on a cold day and it is served for good luck because cabbage represents prosperity (money) and pigs dig forward not backwards.

I’m not German or Swiss, but having been raised on this kind of food (next to my own Italian heritage), I feel a kindred spirit to the many dishes that make Pennsylvania one of the best food states in America, especially for delicious farm food.

If you have never had pork and sauerkraut, I hope I can open up your taste buds to a true delight of comfort food. Sauerkraut is good for the gut, as is all fermented food. Did you know that sauerkraut is considered a SUPER food with numerous health benefits.   It’s perfect companion might be the hot dog for some, but I love it with pork that falls off the bone.

Pork & Sauerkraut by Angela Roberts

We always baked our sauerkraut in the oven with apples and onions and a little garlic,  which gives sauerkraut a distinctive and balanced flavor. And my secret ingredient is fennel pollen. Many of the recipes I’ve read regard cloves as an important ingredient, but  I find cloves a bit too overpowering. The fennel pollen, however, is quite complimentary  to the pork.  Fennel pollen is a special ingredient and a good substitute is the more easily available fennel seed which can be toasted in a frying pan and then ground in a magic bullet or with pestle and mortar.

The SKINNY here is the cut of lean pork used yields very little fat and calories and sauerkraut itself is almost calorie free. Using boneless country ribs, and a dutch oven, this is a guilt free, yet hearty enough dish to start the new year off on the right foot.

I used bags of silver floss sauerkraut which is what I had growing up. Avoid the canned.

To make it leaner than usual, I used lean, boneless country ribs. If I was going for more flavor, I would use a pork butt. The fat in a pork butt yields a more tender roast, but with a lot more calories.  I built my flavors with garlic, onion, shallots, and fennel pollen.

After the meat was browned on top of the stove, it was put in a dutch oven with sauerkraut, apples, shallots, onions and garlic and chicken broth. It was placed in the oven at 325 for four hours.

Once the pork was tender (in this case a slow cook of four hours), I placed it under the broiler for 5 minutes topped with a few thinly sliced apples.

Serve with homemade mashed potatoes and applesauce. This is a much leaner version that what I grew up with. Our pork and sauerkraut usually came with dumplings, but I’ll leave that to the farm folks that deserve to eat that way because they work so hard. This is the meal for New Year’s Day that rings in luck in the community. Tell me what foods do you have to eat on New Year’s Day to ensure a good year.

Pennsylvania Dutch Pork and Sauerkraut, A Lighter Version

A Pennsylvania Dutch recipe to start off the new year with luck. Healthy and lowfat, using lean cut of pork and braising to fork tender.
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean boneless country ribs
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • fennel pollen to sprinkle on meat or 1 tablespoon of fennel seeds divided.
  • olive oil
  • 2 bags silver floss sauerkraut
  • 1 large or 2 small apples
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 shallots
  • apple cider vinegar
  • chicken broth
  • sea salt pepper

Instructions

  • Fry garlic cloves in enough olive oil to cover large dutch oven or frying pan. Remove garlic.
  • Sprinkle pork with salt, pepper and fennel pollen or ground fennel seed. If you can't find fennel pollen, take fennel seeds and toast in a frying pan, and then grind in magic bullet or use a pestle and mortar. Use just enough to sprinkle meat to season.
  • Brown on both sides. Put into the oven at 325 and bake for 30 minutes. Rinse sauerkraut in cold water and quickly drain. This removes some of the sodium and is an option.
  • Add in two tablespoons apple cider vinegar, chopped apples, onions, shallots, remaining garlic cut in half only, salt and pepper.
  • Cover pork with sauerkraut and add one cup chicken broth.
  • Cover and bake for 3 hours or until pork is fork tender. Don't let the pot get dry. You might need to add in a little more water or broth. I used a good dutch oven with lid on and didn't need to add in any water.
  • You can serve right from the pot with the juice or remove to baking pan or cast iron skillet and place under broiler for five minutes along with slices of fresh apple.

Notes

Best served with mashed potatoes. You can use other pork cuts or pork chops in this recipe.

    Made this during the winter storm last night (3/3/19). On the whole is was a good meal, not delicious as I thought it would be. A few comments. The timing of 3 hours at 325 was way off, as it was fork tender in about 90 minutes. Recipe mentions six cloves of garlic, fry them, remove them Then talks about the “remaining garlic.” I assumed that it was the previously browned garlic returned to the pot. Also, what size sauerkraut? Wegmans near me only sells the 32 oz bags. It seemed like A LOT of sauerkraut with two 32 oz bags.

    We have pork n kraut a lot not just for New Years. We never added any apples or seasons just salt and pepper.Although my family is all but gone , my brother makes kraut every year, homemade is the best, nothing like store bought. Homemade bread, mashed potatoes and applesauce , noting from cans I come from Pennsylvania Dutch family, and we would have kraut and dumplings with the leftovers. Nothing gets wasted. I grew up in the village of Mable and town of Ashland Pa. sure do miss those days.

    I grew up eating kraut and pork!!! In lean times it was even hot dogs. And can’t forget the mashed potatoes, so good to mix in!! Sunday dinners at grandmas house always have good memories. I haven’t convinced my daughter to eat kraut, she doesn’t know what she’s missing!!
    Btw….I grew up in Kansas. Quite a long way from Pennsylvania. Us German folk are everywhere!!

    We were originally from Pennsylvania so our tradition is pork and sauerkraut for New Years dinner. Love it with a pork roast and of course with hot dogs. Cannot forget the mashed potatoes and applesauce. We may live in New York for the last 20 years but that is still our New Years dinner.

    Love, love, love this! I haven’t had this dish in a while but sauerkraut and pork will definitely be on my next shopping list. I agree with you re fennel (I like the seeds) and the cut of pork you used…plus I think the thin apple crisps was pure genius, my friend.

    This recipe reminds me of what my German Grandmother made. It looked so good that I had to copy it. Plus the light version is a good idea especially after all those rich meals this holiday season. I usually buy the “Agrosik” kraut from Poland in the big jar at an Eastern European market near my apartment. They truly make the best if you can find it. Thanks.

    Well it sounds like we both grew up in Pa. and it was nice to see someone write about the great comforting food in that area.
    I do some type of pork; either the pork with sauerkraut or ribs of some sort. Since I no longer live in Pa. I make something in tune to where I am residing at the time. This year it will be barbecued ribs for NY’s eve and Prime Rib for dinner tomorrow.
    Thanks for the great article about the area I know so well.

      Adele after eating all over the United States and living in California and Tennessee, I realize how great the food of Pennsylvania is. And part of it is probably the rich farmland. Cheers to you with that Prime Rib, another favorite of mine. Nice to meet another Pennsylvania gal.

Instagram post 2190462260416479960_203001914 I’m so happy with these Vintage Santa Paper Placemats from Hester & Cook. I paired with their red/stripe runner. So fun. Take notice of the white “Nashville” blanket I just picked up at my friend’s store Onyx & Alabaster. (not just a store, sophisticated interior designer). Both stores in historic downtown Franklin…The little town everyone loves to visit. Eat dinner at Gray’s (for delicious farm to table food). I recently ate there and was very surprised at how elevated the food was.

Instagram post 2180643253781899214_203001914 I grew up in Amish country in a fabulous and diverse mecca of classic comfort food.  Central Pennsylvania was heavily settled by the folks who were  and still are referred to as the Pennsylvania Dutch.

The word “dutch”  was a corruption of the word Deutsch or German.  They came either from Germany or the German speaking part of Switzerland and not from Holland. When they arrived in America they came with recipes for sausages, sauerkraut, noodles and dumplings.

Pennsylvania introduced  them to regional foods that they welcomed into their kitchens and put their own spin to. Tomatoes, pumpkins, squash and corn were heartily embraced and mastered by the Amish and the Mennonites.  As food cultures collided, a new generation of comfort food was born.. The Amish and Mennonites are referred to as the plain Pennsylvania Dutch and are most associated with dishes like corn pudding and corn pie.  Baked corn pudding  is generally made with eggs and milk and baked like a custard. My family always added a little cinnamon and vanilla, but still maintained a savory taste using salt and pepper. #linkinprofile  https://spinachtiger.com/pennsylvania-dutch-baked-corn-pudding/

Instagram post 2176642998795019822_203001914 Today was International Kindness Day, 🌸and I feel I was in the circle of kindness.  I appeared for the first time on Talk of the Town making the Keto Texas Sheet Cake. Everyone was so nice, and Meryll Rose is a gem. We were supposed to be shooting live (but impeachment hearings prevailed). Hopefully, they will be able to air it before Thanksgiving.  You can watch my segment on their cable channel link in profile. 
On the way to the station I delivered two dozen small cakes to a company for their monthly birthday party. 🍰That was also a first and they were kind enough to give me great feedback. Then we drove across town to deliver a keto birthday cake 🎂(husband surprised wife at an Air B & B vacation.) She loved ❤️it and I was happy to hear back that this was part of making their vacation memorable. 
After the show filming, we  went to the new (way bigger) Trader Joe’s on White Bridge Road to shop for my mom’s upcoming Celebration of Life. When I told the store staff member that I was buying the Italian cookies for that event, she gave me free flowers 🌸🌸in honor of my mom. The little things in life are really the worthy things! #linkinprofile https://www.newschannel5.com/talk-of-the-town/spinach-tigers-keto-texas-sheet-cake

Instagram post 2174165198691629262_203001914 We had much of the day to kill yesterday before our evening flight. We walked five miles around town, found a small farmer’s market, ❤️a giant amazing independent bookstore called Book People (where out of nostalgia I purchased a novel set in Naples), and found the perfect breakfast that also made golden lattes and the enchiladas I was craving. Not all avocado toast is created equal and I think Caroline sets the standard! Lots of citrus on that avo.

I didn’t have my heart in it to seek out the best food in Austin, but we managed to eat most delicious, because that’s how Austin rolls. Even the buffet hotel food at the Fairmount was on point. 
I remember the last major death in my life. Hard to move. Almost a strange guilt for still pursuing life with passion. I know I know. It’s called grief, that strange state where one moment you want people around to talk to and one moment you want to be completely alone, wishing you could go back in time for just a day!

Instagram post 2170513050183211081_203001914 My friend Andrea of Nashville Made brought over two cooked chickens from Whole Foods after the passing of my mom. I took off the white meat, froze the dark, and made the darn best ever holiday chicken salad, which we ate for three days. I just happened to have rosemary, apples, pomegranate and celery on hand, and it turned out amazing. This would be so nice on a party table. On the side, serve Hawaiian rolls, crackers and some lettuce leaves. I used my favorite mayonnaise from Best Foods, made with avocado oil (no canola oil). If a friend experiences a death, it is the right and good thing to bring food. It means so much, and if you don’t have time, you can send a delivery. We were very blessed with food from friends. Also, talking not texting is healing. Grieving people need to talk, to share to reminisce as part of the process. Ask if you can call or just show up at the door like my friends did. One friend got the news and threw on old clothes and drove to my door. Feeling grateful, blessed to have the support we have been awarded. Flowers are nice too. Never a waste in my opinion. Even my workout place sent flowers, and it meant so much. Don’t feel awkward….just go and offer help. Weep with those who are weeping. The other side of that is blessing.

Instagram post 2169086836105175356_203001914 This post republished from four years ago today, is a must read. The recipe is great, but the tribute is greater. I had been asked by the Pork Board to write a post giving thanks to someone. I chose Retro Rose. Many of you know she passed away early Wednesday. Many recipes at Spinach Tiger were inspired by her or were her recipes. She was a pork chop lover, and comfort food was her thing. We surprised her and the boys made her a paper crown. (slide). Her friend played the violin and we sang Amazing Grace. This week I’ll continue to post. An excerpt from the post, 
IN ITALY, THEY SAY THE SICILIANS HAVE THE WARMEST HEARTS
“She was often asked to pick up the elderly to drive them to church.  In Italy they say, the Sicilians have the warmest hearts and the hottest tempers. Yes on both counts, although she’s slightly mellowed with age.
She get what she wants at the apartment complex where she lives, because she feeds the maintenance men, who also stop by to vacuum, empty the trash and sometimes help her clean her closets. They know she always has a pot of something on the stove, and it’s not uncommon for her to send dinner home with them for their families. She was the “young” one at her church (at 80) , where the elders called her to help with the seniors. At age 79 she had a job  watching a woman with alzheimer’s and she was still often called upon to “senior sit” those who struggled with dementia.” If you worry about growing old, maybe change your mind about what that means. Mindset is everything.  Go read the post. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/mustard-breaded-oven-fried-pork-chops/

It’s newly published and you can visit the recipe for this baked pancake which is 2 net carbs and super delicious. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/keto-pumpkin-dutch-baby/

Instagram post 2160009256345336494_203001914 I set out to post this today not even knowing it’s National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day. This is my keto version which is off the hook and inspired by the Cheesecake Factory. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/low-carb-pumpkin-cheesecake-recipe/

Instagram post 2157426156008475245_203001914 One of our favorite pastas has  always been the bucatini, a rather thick, hollow spaghetti. You can put Bolognese on everything including spaghetti squash, zoodles, mashed and polenta! The bolognese is perfect for fall made with apples. Not so traditional, but traditionally braised for over three hours. #linkinprofile
