Ingredients
- 2.5 lb pork loin roast
- 1.5 lbs sauerkraut
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1.5 cups apple slices
- 1 bag wide egg noodles
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1.5 tbsp high-heat oil (vegetable or avocado oil)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste (freshly ground preferred)
- 2.5 tbsp chicken soup base
- 2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 yellow onion (diced into 1/2-inch pieces)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, about 2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and black pepper, then sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté diced onion and minced garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in rinsed sauerkraut, chicken soup base, brown sugar, apple slices, water, salt, and pepper.
- Return the seared pork to the pot, bring to a simmer, cover with a lid, and reduce heat to low.
- Cook gently for about 90 minutes until the pork is tender; stir occasionally.
- While the pork cooks, boil water in another pot to cook egg noodles; drain when ready.
- Once the pork is tender, remove it from the pot to rest before slicing. Serve over cooked noodles and top with fresh parsley.
