Pork and Sauerkraut With Dumplings
First things first, let’s feast our eyes on this beauty. Prepare yourself!
Now, let’s talk ingredients. You won’t need a magic wand, but these ingredients will definitely make your dish magical!
- 2 pounds of pork (shoulder is best)
- 1 pound of sauerkraut (the real superstar of the show)
- 1 onion, chopped (because everything tastes better with onion)
- 2 apples, peeled and sliced (yes, apples in a savory dish—trust me!)
- 1 tablespoon of caraway seeds (because why not?!)
- Salt and pepper to taste (a must for flavor town)
- Optional: pork stock or water (in case things get sticky)
- For the dumplings:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk (or more if you like it fluffy)
Ready? Let’s get cooking! Here’s how to turn these ingredients into a dish that will impress your friends, your family, and even your pets.
- First, in a large pot, place the pork along with the chopped onion, sauerkraut, sliced apples, and caraway seeds. Season with salt and pepper like a maestro of flavor!
- Cover and cook over low heat. You want to let that pork go low and slow for about 2 to 3 hours until it’s tender enough to make your heart melt.
- While that pork is basking in sauerkraut glory, let’s whip up those dumplings! In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. It should be thick, fluffy, and ready to party!
- Now, bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the boiling water and let them cook for about 15 minutes. They’ll float when they’re done; just like me after eating too many of these dumplings!
- Once the pork is fork-tender and the dumplings are floating like happy little balloons, serve it all up on a plate. Go ahead and take a moment to admire your culinary masterpiece!
And voilà! You have the most glorious Pork and Sauerkraut With Dumplings that will make everyone around you drool. Enjoy every bite and don’t forget to share with someone who appreciates good food—unless you want it all to yourself, then you do you!
