Pork Chops and Sauerkraut
"The apple and wine (or rum) add a slight sweetness to the dish which counteracts the bite of the sauerkraut. Goes nicely with herb-roasted potatoes."

We thought this chop 'n kraut dish was fantastic! I used my electric skillet, so it made cooking very easy. I used apple juice in place of the apple, and rum, as suggested. The flavors blended together really well, and the end result was tender meat, and a tangy sauce. Delicious!! Thank you for sharing ... This one is a keeper, for sure! -
I enjoyed the apple/onion combo with the sauerkraut but I used rum (as suggested for an option in the recipe) and it did nothing for the flavor. The recipe did not specify white or dark rum - I used white Next time I will use Marsala wine. The chops were moist and flavor ful Thanks FlemishMinx for this recipe -

This was pretty good and easy enough to make. We had small pork chops so 20 minutes of steaming was a bit long. We used the rum rather than wine and it worked out well. Just follow the directions and it should turn out fine. I didn't have to do any final browning - they were fine from the initial cooking. -
Great, quick and easy dinner! Had all of the ingredients, followed the recipe exactly...I used White Cooking Wine in place is white wine and the hubs really enjoyed this dish. Will definitely make it again! Tart apples work best for flavor and texture. I used a Sweet Tango apple, but Fuji would also work well.

I am an American married to a Belgian, and have lived in Belgium since December 1999. Cooking is my major hobby. I'm also an avid reader, but I have difficulty finding the time. I love to travel. Since moving to Europe I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to go a couple of times per year to Paris, as well as having visited London, Rome, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, and of course Brussels and Antwerp. I've seen at least parts of most regions of France, as well as parts of Germany, Austria, a great deal of Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Monaco. I'm absolutely in love with the Bay of Naples and Sorrento coast areas of Italy, which my husband and I recently re-visited on a trip that included Rome, Puglia, Umbria and Marche. I'm still looking forward to Ireland, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic . . . the list is too long ! One of the bonuses of travel is getting to taste the local cuisine, and afterward trying to figure out how to duplicate it at home.
I think cooking is one of the nicest things a person can do for someone they love (including themself!)
I had to submit a picture with me and my cat, Sophie, as she insists on sitting in my lap when I'm sitting at the computer. If you are wondering what all that stuff hanging on the wall behind us in the photo is, it is just a small part of my husband's military medal collection. He was appalled by my posting this picture-- Our study is the messiest room in our house (thank god!)
