Pork and Sauerkraut - Crockpot
Traditionally this is a New Year's Day dish, it's supposed to bring you good luck if you eat it on New Year's. But it's also an easy dish to do in the crock pot, so good for a summer evening when you don't want to heat up your kitchen by turning on the oven or working over a hot stove. Also, I had some leftover sauerkraut from hot dogs I wanted to use up.
1 small pork roast, any cut
2 C sauerkraut
1 apple
1 T caraway seeds
Salt and Pepper
I also added two potatoes for my family to eat, I left them in the pot when taking out my portion.
You can leave the pork frozen when you start, just take it out of any packaging.. Rinse and drain the sauerkraut. If you want a little more tartness to yours, you can leave it as is, and not rinse it. Cut up the apple and potatoes if you are using them and throw everything into the slow cooker. Top with the pork and sprinkle with the caraway seeds, salt and pepper. Cook on high for 5 hours or low for 8. Remove the pork and cut into sections. Mine practically fell apart while trying to cut it.
When done you can serve alone or with mustard sauce - combine equal portions of spicy brown mustard and mayonnaise and serve along side the pork.
