To bring good luck in the new year, it was always a tradition in our house when growing up, that we ate pork and sauerkraut on New Years Day. This is a very easy recipe and the family enjoyed it!
Ingredients:
3 lbs. pork loin trimmed of excess fat
salt and pepper, to taste
1 T. oil
16 oz. sauerkraut drained
1 t. minced garlic
1 onion sliced
1 C. apple juice
Directions:
- Liberally season the pork loin with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Heat oil in large skillet or Dutch oven.
- Sear pork loin on all sides, 2-3 minutes per side.
- Add seared pork into a slow cooker.
- Pour in apple juice*.
- Place onions, apples, and garlic around the pork loin.
- Top with sauerkraut.
- Place lid on the slow cooker and cook for 4-5 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low.
- Remove pork and slice or shred and serve with cooking liquids.
*If you don't have apple juice, use chicken stock with 2 T. brown sugar as a substitute.
